Current city councillor Dylan Bressey will be running for a third consecutive term.
Bressey says going into a potentially new term, he is pleased with the work he and his colleagues have finished over the last eight years, and is now looking to continue suupporting that growth.
“For me it is making sure we have a well run city so that we can support the next 20 years of growth here in Grande Prairie, that is the number one priority.”
“In the last 8 years our city has done a lot of work just to have better governance, we’ve increased opportunities for residents to engage with city hall, we have put in a lot of work into making sure we have good strategic plans.”
Bressey says if he is fortunate enough to earn a third term, a major goal is to help cement a prosperous long-term economy in Grande Prairie.
“For me I think that the biggest thing that we need to be focusing on the next four years is what is our long term plan to give residents the services they need at a price they can actually afford. So for me, that means having a long term plan for recreation cultures, so that when we build new things we can actually afford it. That means making sure every dollar is spent efficiently, that means working well with other municipalities to deliver things on a regional scale.”
Bressey expressed that he wants as many people as possible getting out and voting in the upcoming city election
“I just really hope people get involved this election, elections are the time where you get to have a direct say in the future of our city.” “Make sure you go and vote for the people you think will represent you best, we need you involved this election”
The Grande Prairie Municipal election is set for October 20th, 2025.
