A resource guide to help newcomers to the city find essential services and other information a little easier is now available.
The Passport to Grande Prairie, according to officials, serves as a one-stop, user-friendly guide to help newcomers settle into the community by providing accessible information about local services and resources.
Mayor Jackie Clayton says the Passport to Grande Prairie is a creative and practical tool that helps new residents connect to the services, places and people that help build a connected and welcoming city.
“Supporting this initiative reinforces our commitment to accessibility, inclusion and community pride, demonstrating the values that shape who we are as a city and how we serve our residents.”
The passport, which was created in partnership between the city and Grande Prairie Local Immigration Partnership, also includes an interactive element that encourages newcomers to explore the city by visiting various locations to collect stamps for the chance to complete a short survey and receive a prize.
Grande Prairie Local Immigration Partnership Chair Karna Germsheid says the project showcases the power of collaboration and ensures newcomers have the tools they need to feel confident and supported as they begin their lives in Grande Prairie.
