Reach

County of GP fire crews are sounding the alarm after drivers were caught running over live fire hoses.

They say it’s not just illegal—it’s dangerous and can delay critical firefighting efforts.

Damaged hoses put both firefighters and the public at serious risk.

Fines start at $500, so stay clear and follow all emergency directions.

The Liberals have won their fourth mandate this time under the leadership of leader Mark Carney.

When Mark Carney formed government as Canada's 24th Prime Minister on March 14, 2025, he selected 34-year-old Kody Blois from the Kings-Hants riding in Nova Scotia as the Federal Minister for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and Rural Economic Development.

Blois is heading back to Parliament after winning his riding last night. Expectations are that Carney could keep him in that role, but that will be determined when he announces his new cabinet in the days ahead.

On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, Grande Prairie RCMP Drug Section with assistance of Grande Prairie RCMP Police Dog Services executed multiple search warrants at residence in the area of Pinnacle and Lakeland.

As a result the following items were seized by police:

Conservative incumbent Todd Doherty was re-elected in the Cariboo—Prince George riding with a 60.3% of the vote. 

Doherty has represented this British Columbia district since 2015 and is known for his advocacy on mental health issues, including sponsoring legislation to support first responders dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder. While detailed riding-level results are still being finalized, Doherty's victory contributes to the Conservative Party's overall performance in the election.

The Chosen team has decided that moving forward, they will no longer share release dates unless they are locked in.

Dallas Jenkins made the announcement via a live stream on YouTube on Monday.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will not have a seat in the next Parliament, after a stunning upset by Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy in the riding of Carleton. 

Poilievre's loss raises a host of questions about his ability to continue with the Conservative party leadership, and the role he will play as the House of Commons reconvenes. 

In his concession speech on election night, Poilievre pledged that Conservatives will "do our constitutional duty of holding government to account and proposing better alternatives." 

Brandon Lake has released a new single off his forthcoming album, King of Hearts.

The new track, "Daddy's DNA," follows up his successful worship hit, "Hard Fought Hallelujah."

Grande Prairie voters have once again backed Conservative MP Chris Warkentin in a landslide, re-electing him for a seventh straight term. With nearly all polls reporting, Warkentin secured 81.2% of the vote—totaling 47,472 ballots—as of 6 a.m. on April 29.

The long-serving MP has represented the Peace Country since 2006 and says he's honoured to continue serving the region in Ottawa.

A well-known Liverpool soccer player is being reprimanded after sharing his faith with the crowd following a goal.

Cody Gakpo took off his jersey to celebrate and reveal a white tank top with the words "I belong to Jesus."

The Dutch player was immediately given a yellow card by one of the referees because FIFA rules state that players are not allowed to have any political, religious or personal slogans on them.

Former American Idol contestant Fantasia used the stage to bring glory to God.

The talented singer put on a special performance singing "Have Your Way."  

"That was unbelievable," said Ryan Seacrest following her performance. "I can feel your emotion right now. What are you feeling?"

"The world is going through a lot right now, and we need more God," Fantasia responded. "So I allowed him to use me on the biggest stage ever."

Fantasia is preparing to release a new gospel album soon.
