City Hall, the City Service Centre, Eastlink Centre, Design Works Centre, Bonnetts Energy Centre, Montrose Cultural Centre, Grande Prairie Museum, Dave Barr Community Centre, Activity and Reception Centre, and Cedar Point will be closed on the fifth in observation of the holiday.

Despite the closures, the Ernie Radbourne Pavillion at Muskoseepi will be open from noon to 5:00 p.m. and the Aquatera Outdoor Pool will be open from noon to 7:00 p.m.

Transit will also be operating on Heritage Day on holiday hours of 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for regular service, and 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for late-night on-demand service.

To celebrate Heritage Day, the city will be hosting its annual free event on August 3rd at the Grande Prairie Museum.

Residents are encouraged to come out and celebrate Alberta culture at this year’s event and participate in old-fashioned games, interactive demonstrations like ropemaking, and community booths.
