The City of Grande Prairie is celebrating Small Business Week to recognize the significant contributions that local entrepreneurs make to the city’s economy.
To mark the occasion, the Mayor, along with council members and the Invest GP team will visit small businesses across the city to hear feedback and share information about programs the city offers to support small businesses in the community.
Mayor Jackie Clayton calls the week a celebration of the entrepreneurial spirit that continues to drive Grande Prairie’s economic growth.
“Small businesses are the backbone of Grande Prairie’s diverse economic landscape, offering unique opportunities and services that enhance our quality of life,” she says. “By supporting and championing these businesses, we build a stronger, more resilient economy and a community where everyone can thrive.”
New this year, Invest GP will showcase the Business Visitation Program. Officials suggest the program strengthens ties with local businesses, allowing the city to stay informed about the local economic landscape by giving business owners the chance to engage directly with economic development staff.
The city is encouraging all residents and businesses to join in the celebration of the week to recognize the dedication of local business owners to the city.
