Visitors are invited to play, skate and swim across three City facilities to celebrate Alberta Day on Saturday, August 31.

The City is offering free facility access to the Eastlink Centre, Activity & Reception Centre and hosting a public skate, including a skate with the Grande Prairie Storm, at Bonnetts Energy Centre to commemorate Alberta’s 119 anniversary.

Residents are also invited to visit the Grande Prairie Museum and Reverend Forbes Homestead, where admission is always free, to learn more about the history of the Grande Prairie region.

School zones come into effect on Tuesday, September 3, 2024 and the Enforcement Services encourages drivers to use extra caution during the transition to the school year. Drivers are reminded to watch out for pedestrians in school zones, residential areas, near playgrounds, or any other place frequented by children.

When it comes to moving traffic violations, some safety tips for motorists to keep in mind include:

Kids (and adults) will have the chance to touch and climb into the driver's seat of their favourite vehicles at Grande Prairie’s first Touch A Truck event.  

The event will take place at the West side parking lot of Bonnetts Energy Centre from 10am till 2pm on September 7.  

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has written to the leader of the New Democrats, urging him to force an election this fall.

Poilievre's letter to Jagmeet Singh says the NDP does not have a mandate from voters to keep Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in power for another year.

He's urging Singh to vote non-confidence in the government when the House of Commons resumes in September.

The NDP entered a supply and confidence deal with the Liberals in 2022, agreeing to keep the minority government in power until 2025 in exchange for movement on key priorities.

The Ohio State University and local churches recently hosted an event on campus that saw many people give their lives to Christ and even get baptized. 

The university football team hosted the event and many players shared their testimonies on the stage after everyone engaged in a few worship songs. The praise and worship night had roughly 1,000 people gathered together.

Galatians 3:28

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Marian Anderson, the great contralto who won worldwide acclaim, didn't simply grow great; she grew great simply. In spite of her fame, she remained a beautiful model of humility.

A reporter interviewing Miss Anderson once asked her to name the greatest moment in her life. She had had so many big moments to choose from. For example:

There is no evidence that indicates the federal Conservatives were behind a bot network on social media that praised a Pierre Poilievre rally, a new study has found. 

The Canadian Digital Media Research Network launched an investigation after hundreds of X accounts posted about the Conservative leader's July rally in Kirkland Lake, Ont., all using the same language with phrases like "buzzing with energy" and "as a northern Ontarian."

Effective at 2:00 p.m. today, Tuesday, August 27, 2024, the County of Grande Prairie Regional Fire Service has lifted the Fire Restriction that was put in place on July 29 for the entire County, along with the towns of Beaverlodge, Sexsmith and Wembley. This change aligns with Alberta Wildfire’s move to lift all advisories today.  

Due to cooler temperatures and recent rainfall, the County will not have any advisories in place as the fire danger in the region is now low.
