The Grande Prairie Public School Division (GPPSD) is pleased to announce funding for the design phase of a major addition to Grande Prairie Composite High School, made possible through the Alberta government’s investment of $8.6 billion for school infrastructure.

Corey Lueck has been in music for as long as he can remember and now has a new song out, "Not Finished With Me."

"My dad played the saxophone, my brother plays guitar and bass and my sister plays piano. I actually started as a drummer," Lueck said. "I also loved singing."

Lueck's love for music led Corey and his brother to start a rock band. "At this time, I really was not a Christian. I always believed in God, but I grew up Catholic and I didn't take it seriously."

A year after his death, tributes continue to pour in for TobyMac Diverse City member Gabe Patillo.

Patillo, a multi-talented man who, by age ten, was dancing onstage alongside DC Talk, passed away following a battle with pancreatic cancer in April 2024.

Another American Idol performance, another opportunity to glorify God. 

Breanna Nix took to the stage on Sunday in Hawaii for American Idol's top 24 performances, using the stage as a place to lead worship.

The Alberta government and its auditor general are at odds over the province’s decision to bring lawyers directly into the investigation surrounding multimillion-dollar health contracts.

The issue arose after the Opposition NDP revealed a leaked email this week from Alberta Health that directs public servants to contact a lawyer to co-ordinate if auditor general Doug Wylie requests an interview as part of his investigation.
