Warkentin recognizes Grande Prairie's centennial in House of Commons

The end of April will officially mark the 100th anniversary of the Municipality of Grande Prairie being incorporated.

Peace River MP Chris Warkentin recently took time in the House of Commons to recognize the centennial, which is being celebrated locally through a series of events, highlighted by a homecoming celebration this summer.

In his tribute, Warkentin said Grande Prairie was built through the co-operative spirit of its early settlers, which he added carries through to today.

Warkentin said Grande Prairie has a hard working community spirit, adding that its successes can serve as an inspiration to all Canadians.
