Community builder initiative founder pays visit to Grande Prairie

The founder of the Becoming a Community Builder program is very impressed with how our city has reacted to being picked to take part in the initiative.

Over 180 people have signed up so far to take part in the 15 week, online personal and professional development program.

Ian Hill is in Grande Prairie to promote the program.

He is confident that those registration numbers will increase significantly between now and the program’s launch next Friday.

“This is about making people aware of the program and encouraging them to participate.  The program is free, and when you stop and think about it, the people closest to the problem really are the most likely ones to solve it.  And if we can make an all-out commitment to equiping them, then we believe that great things will happen.”

Grande Prairie is one of six Alberta communities selected to take part in the free program.
