Large Scale Tourism Events funding applications will be considered once per year. The deadline for submission of funding applications is February 1 of each year. Applications are accepted for festivals and sporting events that have a tourism draw of 100 kilometres or greater, resulting in at least 35% of attendance by visitors to our community. A Large-Scale Tourism Event would provide a unique audience and/or participant experience and can result in a significant economic and/or tourism benefit to Grande Prairie.

On January 12, 2024, a 24/7 Emergency Warming Centre was activated. Due to the cold temperatures today and forecasted for tomorrow, the centre will remain open 24/7 for January 22, 2024 and January 23, 2024.

The County’s dedicated snow removal crews will start clearing on Tuesday, January 23.  

Crews will begin in Whispering Ridge, Westlake Village and Hythe. Once those areas are complete, crews will move on to Clairmont, Wedgewood, Taylor Estates, Maple Ridge and La Glace neighbourhoods.  

When the digital “No Parking” signs at the entrance to these areas are visible, temporary parking restrictions are in place and street parking is not permitted between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.  

New visas for international students will be slashed by more than one-third this year as the federal government tries to slow a rapid increase in temporary residents that has put immense pressure on Canada's housing system.

Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced a temporary cap on new student visas at a three-day cabinet retreat in Montreal. Affordability and housing are top items on the agenda, with a growing focus on the role record immigration has been playing in both.

Until March 31, vehicle owners across the province can get their catalytic converters engraved, thanks to AMA and Kal Tire’s expanded Tag Your Cat program.

The expanded program now includes participation from Alberta RCMP, in addition to existing law enforcement partners in Calgary, Camrose, Edmonton, Lethbridge, and Medicine Hat.

Chart-topping artist and songwriter Micah Tyler has released a new version of the title track of his latest project, People Like Us.

The new version features Fair Trade Services' new artist, Emerson Day.

“When I was asked to be featured on this song, I was so excited and so humbled and honoured to be a part of the message that it shares. It does not matter where we are or what we are going through in our lives - God’s love for us never changes," said Emerson.

 A round of residential snow removal starts today.

Residential snow clearing commences when declared by the City with consideration of snow accumulations and forecasted weather.

Current snowfall has led to conditions where a round of residential snow clearing is warranted.

Two-week rotations of residential snow clearing occurs when declared and is completed by contracted snow removal crews from Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

After a painful divorce and several years of healing, Proverbs 31 Ministries president, best-selling author, and speaker Lysa TerKeurst is celebrating love again.

"I want to invite you in to share a new chapter in my life," said TerKeurst in a post on Instagram. "In January of 2023, I met Chaz. And as the pages kept turning last year, we knew what we’d found in each other was love. A beautiful love that requires work like love always does. But a togetherness that is safe, honest, fun, funny and surrendered to the sacred way God tells us to love and care for each other."
