We are deeply grateful to the Dawson City Fire Department, emergency responders, RCMP, and everyone who worked early this morning to help contain this devastating fire.

Our hearts are with the Westminster Hotel team, everyone connected to The Pit, and the musicians, storytellers, regulars, visitors, and friends who have experienced its magic over the years.

The Westminster Hotel and The Pit are part of Dawson’s story, and we know this is an incredibly difficult moment for the community.
