We're excited to share with you more of the cities you can discover on your upcoming travels with the British Columbia DLC for American Truck Simulator. Missed out on the first part of this blog? You can check it out here! Our team has been hard at work recreating locations across BC, Canada. From larger urban centres to more remote areas, each offers its own landscapes, industries, and way of life. Let us share with you more of what we've been working on for this DLC. Cranbrook Located in the East Kootenay region of BC, Cranbrook is a community with strong ties to the railway and the surrounding mountain landscape. The arrival of the railway played an important role in the city's development, helping establish this city as a major centre for the region. You'll discover several recognizable landmarks that highlight the city's history, including the old train station and the Cranbrook History Centre, which today preserves an impressive collection of historic Canadian railcars. You'll also be able to spot the visitor centre. With its location among the mountains and forests, we hope you look forward to visiting this historical city. Valemount Surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery, Valemount is nestled within the North Thompson Valley, near the northern end of the Rocky Mountain Trench. With the Rockies, Cariboo Mountains, and Monashee Mountains all nearby, drivers can expect some impressive views. On your visit, be sure to keep an eye out for the local visitor center, housed in a distinctive log building and surrounded by beautiful mountain views. Whether you're stopping by or simply continuing your journey north, the scenery around Valemount is sure to make the drive worthwhile. Williams Lake Situated in the heart of the Cariboo region, Williams Lake is an important regional centre surrounded by forests, rolling hills, and open countryside. The city has long served the surrounding communities and industries. There is plenty to see here, including the city's distinctive Tourism Discovery Centre, alongside local hotels, restaurants, and the historic Station House Gallery. Built as a railway station in 1919, the Station House is the oldest standing building in Williams Lake and today serves as an art gallery and cultural space. Truckers will also find plenty of work around the city, with deliveries connected to a local sawmill, scrapyard, and construction equipment dealer. Prince George Prince George is one of the most important industrial and transportation centres in northern British Columbia. Sitting at the intersection of Highways 16 and 97 and connected to major rail routes, the city serves as a key hub for goods moving across the province and onward towards the Pacific Coast.
This important role is reflected throughout the city, where truckers will find a wide variety of industries to serve, including a paper mill, chemical factory, refinery, and a large intermodal transportation hub. Away from the industrial areas, keep an eye out for landmarks such as the local Royal Canadian Mounted Police station, St. Michael's Anglican Church, and the city's rail station. Prince Rupert Prince Rupert is a major port city with a long history connected to fishing, forestry, railway transportation, and shipping. Being located on the coast of the North Pacific Ocean has helped establish the city as an important gateway for international trade, with road and rail connections linking its port facilities to communities across Canada and beyond.
Truckers visiting Prince Rupert will find plenty of work waiting for them around its busy industrial and waterfront areas. You'll find job contracts to and from the harbour port, seafood facility & nearby timber harvesting operations. There is plenty to see away from work too, including the local Royal Canadian Mounted Police station, courthouse, visitor center, lighthouse, and the Museum of Northern British Columbia, which showcases the rich history, art, and culture of British Columbia's Northwest Coast. Vernon Located in the North Okanagan, agriculture has long played an important role in the local economy of Vernon, alongside a diverse mix of manufacturing, tourism, forestry, and other industries. Drivers will be able to make deliveries to an agricultural equipment dealer, landscape supply company, yacht builder, RV dealer, and a beverage plant.
While travelling through Vernon, you'll also be able to find several local landmarks, including the hospital complex, Okanagan Science Centre, and the distinctive Telecommunications Tower Building. Bella Coola
At the western end of Highway 20 lies Bella Coola, a remote community surrounded by the spectacular wilderness of British Columbia's Central Coast. The journey into the Bella Coola Valley takes drivers through a landscape of mountains, dense forests, and dramatic scenery, making this part of the province quite different from many of the other destinations you'll discover. In Bella Coola, you'll find landmarks such as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police station and The Augsburg United Church. Whether Bella Coola marks the end of a long delivery or the beginning of your journey back through the valley, we hope you'll take some time to enjoy this unique corner of British Columbia. We look forward to sharing even more from the British Columbia DLC with you in the future.
