The City of Grande Prairie has awarded Keyera official naming rights for the Activity and Reception Centre, which has now been renamed Keyera Place Grande Prairie.

Naming rights agreements provide many benefits to the community through the opportunity to enhance facilities, projects, programs and services. Included in the agreement, Keyera has committed to sponsoring one free community drop-in session per week and being the Camp Essentials Sponsor for summer camps at the facility. 

On June 18, 2025, at approximately 3:20 a.m., Grande Prairie Rural RCMP attempted a traffic stop on a black Nissan Sentra. The vehicle failed to stop and fled into a residential neighbourhood in the City of Grande Prairie at a high rate of speed. Members disengaged and conducted patrols in the area. The vehicle was located abandoned a few minutes later and a male was seen walking away from the vehicle. The male was arrested and confirmed to be the driver.

Alberta has the most measles cases in North America on a per-capita basis, worrying experts who say summer events could push case counts even higher. 

The province’s former chief medical officers of health Dr. Mark Joffe says that’s twice the rate of confirmed cases in Ontario.

Ontario has been deemed Canada's epicentre of the outbreak in absolute case numbers, reporting 1,910 confirmed infections since its outbreak began in October, but with a population three times the size as Alberta.  

Alberta's government is jumping on board a federal initiative aimed at saving Canadians a buck if they stay close to home this summer.

The province says it's offering its own free and discounted admissions as part of the Canada Strong Pass program, introduced by the federal government last month.

First promised as a way to promote Canadian tourism in response to the U.S. tariff war, the federal pass includes free access to national parks and historic sites, along with free rail tickets and museum admission for those under 18.

Ottawa is expected to miss its 2026 deadline to implement $10-a-day child care services across the country, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives said in a new report published on Wednesday.

The analysis concluded that just six provinces and territories are meeting that fee target now.

David Macdonald, an economist with the centre, said even though fees have dropped significantly everywhere, the federal government is unlikely to meet its self-imposed deadline.

Two active members of the Canadian Armed Forces are among four people arrested and charged on Tuesday for allegedly participating in an anti-government plot to forcibly take possession of land in the Quebec City area.

Three of the suspects, motivated by "violent extremism," planned to start a militia and "took concrete actions" to facilitate terrorist activity, the RCMP said. Two 24-year-olds and a 25-year-old allegedly took part in military-style training that included shooting, ambush, survival and navigation exercises, using a variety of firearms and high-capacity magazines. 

Ephesians 3:20-21

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."

Isaiah 41:10

Back in World War II a scribble of comic graffiti began appearing on walls everywhere, proclaiming, "Kilroy was here!

"This declaration was found on walls in Germany. It was found on buildings in Tokyo. It was found on big boulders in America. Kilroy was everywhere, it seemed.

God is not like Kilroy. He does not write His name on the walls and rocks of life, but He is there—every day, every hour, every tick of the clock!
