Marshall acclaimed, Peterson elected new Deputy Reeve elected in County of Grande Prairie

Reeve Bob Marshall will have another year at the helm as he was acclaimed as Reeve of the County of Grande Prairie as part of it’s annual organizational meeting on Monday.

Marshall, who was first elected to council in 2013, will continue on in the role for a second consecutive term, after replacing former County of Grande Prairie Reeve Leanne Beaupre, who was in chair for nearly a decade until 2022.

“I’m humbled by the support of my fellow Councillors and honoured to continue to serve as Reeve,” Marshall says.

Marshall will be joined by newly elected Deputy Reeve and first term Division 7 Councillor Brian Peterson, who was voted on by his peers to take on the role.

“This Council already has a positive and productive working relationship,” Peterson says. “I’m proud to be able to use my skills and experience to support our work ensuring the County remains a great place for residents and business to live, work, and thrive.”

Peterson takes over the position from Peter Harris, who served as Deputy Reeve since 2019.
