“It’s not lost on us just how special it is to have an arena filled with people worshiping Jesus. It’s our prayer that what happens at Elevation Nights will have a ripple effect for years to come,” said Chris Brown. 

ASIRT has cleared the Grande Prairie RCMP from responsibility in the death of man in custody back in 2021.

The investigation revealed the person died from an overdose and not lack of care while being detained. Guards checked on the man every 15 minutes until they found him unresponsive at 8:50am the next morning.

The initial arrest took place on February 7, 2021 when RCMP were called to the family home. He was taken into custody without incident after refusing to be transported to the hospital or an addiction centre.

As part of the County’s ongoing work to lower the risk of wildfire, County crews will be conducting a 10-day controlled burn to dispose of wood debris in four areas along the fireguard, starting Wednesday, February 28.

Residents should refer to the map for the four pinned locations. Crews will be burning at the four sites for 24 hours per day, seven days per week for the 10-day burn permit. County crews will then re-evaluate the level of completion to determine whether weather conditions are suitable for any additional required burning.

As they neared their destination, Jacob sent Judah ahead to meet Joseph and get directions to the region of Goshen. And when they finally arrived there, Joseph prepared his chariot and travelled to Goshen to meet his father, Jacob. When Joseph arrived, he embraced his father and wept, holding him for a long time. Finally, Jacob said to Joseph, "Now I am ready to die, since I have seen your face again and know you are still alive.” (Genesis 46:28–30)
