It’s hoped that Grande Prairie residents can stay better informed with what is happening through a new text service. The City of Grande Prairie says the new service will help the municipality and residents stay better connected and “provide alternative communication methods, catering to the diverse interests and needs of Grande Prairie residents.”
While signing up for the service, residents can choose what sort of notifications they would like to receive, from community events and announcements to important updates from the city. Signing up takes six steps, with the first being to create an account on the City of Grande Prairie’s website and click the “Opt-in for SMS Text Service Updates” option.
“Existing AccessGP account holders looking to enable text alerts or adjust preferences can log in to their account or text ‘MANAGE’ to 311000.”
All messages will be sent from 311000.
