GPREP launches social media accounts to improve communication during emergencies

Grande Prairie residents will have a direct source for emergency updates this summer through GPREP’s newly launched social media accounts.

Residents are encouraged to follow “gprepalerts” on Facebook and X, as all official communication from GPREP will be shared on these accounts during an emergency.

In past emergencies, municipalities were asked to share updates on their own social media, provided by GPREP Information Officers. Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton calls the new pages a step forward in enhancing communications between the regional response partnership and the residents it serves.

“By having this tool easily accessible and available for the public, we hope to reach those impacted by emergencies with the information they need even faster,” she says. 

County Reeve Bob Marshall adds that the service’s role as an access point for residents needing timely and reliable information will only be further improved thanks to the new development.

“By launching these GPREP-specific social channels and strengthening our communication strategy, we are providing trusted sources for updates when it matters most,” he says. 

GPREP encompasses the City and County of Grande Prairie, along with the towns of Beaverlodge, Sexsmith, and Wembley, coordinating resource sharing and response strategies to address large-scale, regional emergencies.

Residents encouraged to clean up winter litter during annual City Scrub event

The City of Grande Prairie is encouraging residents to take part in this year’s community clean-up event to help the city dust off the winter litter.

Residents are encouraged to take 20 minutes of their time to pick up and properly dispose of litter and garbage that has accumulated over the winter months in parks and neighbourhoods close to their homes.

Free supplies like garbage bags and gloves are available for participants to pick up between April 2nd and the 30th at City Hall, Muskoseepi Park, Eastlink Centre, Grande Prairie Museum, City Service Centre, and the Activity and Reception Centre.

Large groups can arrange for supply pickup by emailing the city here.

A list of safety tips is available on the city’s website.

GPPS Community Standards Unit traffic stop leads to one arrested on nationwide warrant

The Grande Prairie Police Service’s brand-new Community Standards Unit made a significant arrest on March 26th.

According to the GPPS, at around 9:15 a.m., officers on patrol observed a traffic violation involving a taxi in downtown Grande Prairie, before initiating a stop. Officials say the vehicle continued to drive for a “short distance” before stopping.

A male passenger then exited the vehicle before fleeing on foot. Police say the taxi driver insisted the suspect told him to ignore police instructions and had assaulted him in the process.

Following a brief foot pursuit, members of the CSU successfully apprehended the suspect. He was transferred to the RCMP for processing, and upon further investigation, it was revealed the man was wanted on a nationwide warrant for failing to comply with his parole conditions. Officials say further charges are pending.

GPPS Superintendent John Respet says the arrest marks a significant moment for establishing the CSU as a valuable resource for the city’s downtown core.

“Their swift response in this situation highlights the effectiveness of the CSU and underscores the importance of proactively enhancing public safety,” he says. 

The Community Standards Unit was launched this March to address social disorder in Grande Prairie, specifically in areas like the downtown core.

Earth Day festivities planned across Grande Prairie region

Green thumbs from around the region will have the chance to celebrate their love of nature during the City and County of Grande Prairie’s Earth Day festivities on April 26th.

The family-friendly event will feature several interactive exhibits, educational opportunities, and activities for all ages.

Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton and County Reeve Bob Marshall encourage everyone to participate.

“Earth Day is a powerful reminder that small everyday choices can lead to a more sustainable future,” Clayton says. “We encourage everyone to participate in our Earth Day event, featuring a variety of sustainable programs and initiatives,” Reeve Marshall adds. 

Activities include a live hive experience to offer a close-up look at the role of pollinators, a GP Grows Seed Bar where residents can choose from more than a dozen seed varieties, the “Electric Avenue” to showcase electric vehicles, and several other hands-on activities like cookie decorating and face painting.

In an effort to encourage sustainable transportation, the City will also be offering complimentary city-wide transit throughout the day.

The festivities are scheduled for April 26th, from noon to 4:00 p.m. at the Montrose Cultural Centre in Teresa Sargent Hall.

Taxi caught speeding 41 km/h over the limit, officials ask residents to report vehicle for hire incidents

Grande Prairie Enforcement Services is reminding residents to report any concerns regarding vehicles for higher after a significant speeding incident involving a taxi driver.

According to GPES, this comes after a Peace Officer conducted a traffic stop on a taxi that was speeding 101 kilometres per hour in a 60 kilometre per hour zone while on duty with a customer.

Peace Officer Sergeant Bransen Balfour says it is critical that vehicle for hire companies provide safe options to Grande Prairie residents.

“If you have concerns about a vehicle for hire in our community, please reach out with as much information as possible so they can be addressed,” he says. 

Taxis, designated driving services, rideshare apps, limos, shuttles, and any other hired vehicle are licensed by the City of Grande Prairie, and governed by municipal bylaws. The city says incidents that should be reported to GPES include dangerous driving like speeding and running stop signs, not displaying a chauffeur permit, or not having proper signage inside and outside the vehicle.

Any incidents regarding vehicles for hire can be reported to GPES online or over the phone at (780)-830-5790.

Grande Prairie’s slushy springtime snow explained

Don’t blame the groundhog.

Grande Prairie’s winter has come and gone several times now, and with the calendar saying spring has officially sprung, many residents are wondering the same thing- what gives?

Environment Canada Meteorologist Christy Climenhaga says March in the Peace Country traditionally brings what she calls a “weather whiplash,”; but while fluctuating temperatures can frustrate, it’s considered normal for the region.

“You can get temperature swings at any time, [but] when we get into March, we can get this sort of weather whiplash,” she says. “It may feel a little strange or [it may] feel a little bit like Spring may never come, but this is pretty typical for this time of year.”

Normal, but frustrating

Grande Prairie can almost always count on January being the snowiest month of the year, but the spring as a whole doesn’t disappoint when it comes to the white stuff.

Climenhaga says during a typical year, March will see 20 or so centimetres of snow, with another 11 centimetres the average in April, and a significant chance of snow at least once in early May.

“If you average out the last 30 years, you’ll even generally see snow in early May, so it is something we contend with every year, and it can be a bit frustrating when you’re ready for spring to happen.”

“It’s not out of the ordinary to see these sorts of systems roll through and dump some snow.”

Spring snow

In addition to most being tired of shovelling comes springtime, the task seems worse the later it happens, and there’s a science behind that.

“When you’re looking at the types of snow we get when you have really cold temperatures, there’s not quite as much water content in our snow- so our ‘snow-to-liquid ratio’ we call it, is a little bit lower,” Climenhaga says.

“You start to get into this time of year, a little bit warmer, a little bit higher in terms of water content, and you get that dense, wet, slushy snow, which can be a little bit more frustrating, and of course, very very heavy to shovel away.”

The snow in Grande Prairie is expected to continue until at least the beginning of the weekend, and it is likely the city is in for another melt with temperatures forecasted as high as 10 degrees Celcius on Monday.

GP stormin’ into second round after Lloydminster sweep

The Grande Prairie Storm are moving on after sweeping the Lloydminster Bobcats in the first round of the AJHL playoffs.

The series kicked off with a dominating 7-3 blowout in the Storm’s favour at Bonnetts Energy Centre in front of a crowd of more than 1,700. Storm forward Colin Doherty stood out, scoring twice, picking up an assist, and earning himself the home team star of the game.

The following evening, the boys put on a clinic on home ice during an 8-2 slugfest at Bonnetts Energy Centre. The teams finished the first period at 1-1 before the Bobcats held onto a 2-1 lead for the majority of the second. Will Harris’ goal around the eleven-minute mark shifted the tides, and the Storm ended up scoring seven unanswered by the time it was all said and done.

Not to be outpaced at home, the Bobcats prioritized tight defence in game three, keeping the game at 0-0 until late in the second, when the Storm’s Alec Hall capitalized on a powerplay opportunity. Bobcats forward Kade Fendelet tied it up early in the third, but another powerplay chance led to the deciding goal for the Storm’s Zachary Wilson, ending the game 2-1 in favour of GP.

The series came to a nail-biting finish in Lloydminster. The Storm led for most of game four, but a late third-period goal from Lloydminster’s Kade Fendelet brought it to overtime. Both teams looked good defensively; however, Storm offensive powerhouse Tomis Marinkovic snuck his fourth post-season goal past the Bobcats, finishing the game 4-3 for the Swan City.

The series win secures the Storm a spot in the second round- which team they will play is still up for debate.

Hommy Memorial Society pursuing recreation lease transfer for Hommy Park to County

Grande Prairie’s “hidden gem” for campers will soon be run entirely by the county after a recreation lease transfer.

County council received an update during their recent meeting that indicated the Hans O. Hommy Memorial Society’s desire to transfer the ownership of Hommy Park’s recreation lease to the county.

The Albright campground, bordered by the Beaverlodge River, is renowned by Peace Country campers for its quiet and seclusion. Officials say both the park and the campground only exist due to the efforts of Milton Hommy and the memorial society.

The choice to make the transfer was not an easy one, but the society says aging volunteers, combined with limited capacity have posed significant challenges as the years go on.

Milton Hommy was in attendance during the meeting and was thanked, along with his family by the county for their years of dedication.

Council approved the management plan for the park and directed county administration to request a transfer from the society to the county.

Pinnacle Ridge residents asked for feedback on water feature levy

Pinnacle Ridge residents will have the chance to provide some feedback to the city regarding the neighbourhood’s water feature levy.

The $12.50 levy was introduced in 2010 at the request of the Pinnacle Ridge Neighbourhood Association to help fund the operation and maintenance of the front entrance fountain and water feature.

The association gathered nearly 700 signatures in support of maintaining the fountain through a special recreational services levy.

Now, the city is encouraging residents to discuss the levy during two meetings- the Operational Services Committee Meeting on April 15th, and the City Council meeting on April 21st.

“Community input is key to ensuring the continuation of the Pinnacle Ridge water
feature,” the city says.

Those who wish to attend the council meeting can notify Legislative Services ahead of the 3:00 p.m. session, and anyone who wants to speak as a delegate can submit their presentations here.

“JustServe” online volunteer platform looks to fill the gap after GP-RAVO shuts down

Following the closure of the Grande Prairie Regional Association of Volunteer Organizations, a new online platform is looking to fill the gap for the city’s volunteer community.

“JustServe” is described as a free online platform, designed to connect volunteers with service opportunities in their communities.

Jennifer Broadhead, a JustServe Specialist for the Grande Prairie area says the resource has been growing in GP over the last five years, including a local Facebook group of nearly 1,000, that utilizes the service.

“There is an obvious interest in volunteering and strengthening our community,” she says. 

The service aims to help organizations connect with a broad volunteer base, including individuals, families, and groups looking to serve, by making it easy for volunteers to find opportunities that match their unique interests and abilities.

Several opportunities for the Grande Prairie area are already available on JustServe’s website.

County of GP encouraging FireSmart practices as fire danger remains “low” in Forest Area

Grande Prairie’s fire season has had a quiet start, and County of Grande Prairie officials are encouraging residents to do their best to keep it that way.

As of March 21st, Alberta Wildfire has not reported any new wildfires in the Grande Prairie Forest Area since the new year. Despite the current wildfire danger level sitting at low, officials say risks can increase quickly as the snow melts.

To keep the fire risk to a minimum, residents are encouraged to practice FireSmart behaviour throughout the rest of the melt and season.

Officials say even in the winter, wildfires remain a concern. While many county residents and farmers may choose to take advantage of the snow for burning brush piles and windrows, following a few precautions is essential in avoiding holdover fire risk in the summer.

Before burning, officials remind you to always have the right tools and water nearby. Additionally, being mindful of drought conditions, checking for smouldering even after it is extinguished, and following the “Soak, Stir, Soak” method to put out your fire are all great ways to mitigate fire risk on your property.

After a winter burn, the county says regularly monitoring the site for signs of smouldering or holdover fires is critical throughout the spring. Officials suggest checking your burn piles during the spring season by inserting a metal rod or pry bar into the pile and checking its temperature- if it’s hot, the pile is still burning inside or underground.

City, County of GP to provide letters of support, backing AFPA’s efforts to push against American tariffs

City, County of GP to provide letters of support, backing AFPA’s efforts to push against American tariffs

Grande Prairie City Council has directed Mayor Jackie Clayton to write a letter of support indicating the city’s desire to back the Alberta Forest Products Association in its efforts to push against American tariffs on Canadian lumber.

The letter will include a number of items, including advocating for Alberta wood products south of the border and building with domestic lumber in new developments.

Woodworks Alberta Executive Director Rory Koska appeared before city council during their recent Monday night meeting as part of a several-stop tour between municipalities, urging councils to support the AFPA in its efforts. He says he is “very pleased” to have the city on board, especially after the county indicated its support earlier that day.

“Very pleased and excited to have another municipality support building with wood, and helping the forest community create more jobs and more lumber, and get it to places that its needed,” he says.

The threat of tariffs on Canadian exports to the US has been quite the discussion point among stakeholders in Grande Prairie, given the region’s dependence on lumber. Koska says right now, there is a “very high” level of concern among leaders in the forest industry, which has unfortunately resulted in some projects slowing down, being paused, or even scrapped altogether.

“Very very high [concern] with duties and tariffs, to the point where they’re scared for their business and scared for their communities,” he says. “I’m generally dealing with developers, builders, and specifiers, and everybody right now is putting everything on hold, they’re waiting to see what’s going to happen, and waiting to see what the prices are before they pull the trigger on any new projects going forward.”

“Some developers are okay to buy something once they understand what’s happening, maybe they have that one-month reprieve, they’ll move forward a little bit then wait, move forward, and then wait.”

Koska argues that there is a solution; however. He says cleaning up the supply chain and focusing on utilizing Canada’s abundance of natural resources could be the chance to get developments underway, despite the threats coming from its southern neighbours.

“In Canada, we produce a lot of lumber, and we produce a lot of engineered wood product that we can source from home, so any new projects going on, we can source that material locally, in Alberta, if not in Alberta, within Canada, so we can get away without having to pay any type of tariffs that are coming up from the US.”

County Council joined the city during their own meeting- directing county administration to provide a letter of support to the AFPA, similar to Mayor Clayton’s.

Keep the winters on: Environment Canada issues special weather statement for GP area, heavy, wet snow expected

Sometimes winter just won’t quit.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for several communities in the Grande Prairie area.

The communities of Grande Prairie, Beaverlodge, Valleyview, Fox Creek, Edson, and parts of Woodlands County can expect significant snowfall, hindering travel conditions from Wednesday night through to Friday across central Alberta.

Officials suggest heavy, wet snow will begin to fall on Wednesday evening over parts of west-central Alberta, including Grande Prairie, down to Whitecourt.

On Thursday morning, it is expected that snow will intensify across central Alberta, including the Edmonton area.

Snowfall amounts on Friday are expected to reach as high as 20 centimetres by the morning, with higher accumulations of up to 25 centimetres possible near the Rockies and the Grande Prairie area.

Still, officials maintain that the warm temperatures at the beginning of the week, combined with uncertainty about how fast the snow will fall, confidence in total snowfall accumulations is “moderate.”

City continues advocacy to take the shock out of electricity distribution costs

City continues advocacy to take the shock out of electricity distribution costs

Grande Prairie City Council will continue advocating for “more equitable” electricity distribution in 2025.

ATCO explains Distribution and Transmission charges cover the cost of electricity getting to you. Transmission lines transport electricity from the power plants to substations around the province, and all electricity customers in Alberta pay for their construction and maintenance; however, officials say “most of the costs” are paid for by the heaviest users.

According to Mayor Jackie Clayton, residents have continued to indicate their frustrations regarding the cost electricity distribution in the ATCO service area, saying the disparity between Alberta’s metros and Grande Prairie is significant and continues to grow.

“I would say- potentially, the number one item that remains on the list would be electricity distribution costs,” she says. “We hear regularly from residents and businesses that the detrimental difference between urban centres- Edmonton and Calgary, and the ATCO service area, is significant, and that gap continues to widen.”

Clayton says right now, the average Grande Prairie customer pays around three and a half times more in distribution costs than a similar customer would in Calgary or Edmonton.

“This comes down to the fact that an Edmonton or Calgary household would pay approximately $5 more per month, to equalize the entire province,” she says.

As a result, the City has indicated its plans to continue advocating to the province, working with municipal partners in the service area, and engaging with ATCO itself to come up with a solution.

Best finish in over a decade lands rookie Storm Head Coach AJHL Coach of the Year

In his very first year of Head Coaching, the Grande Prairie Storm’s Chris Schmidt can hold his head high after winning this season’s AJHL Coach of the Year award.

Schmidt led the boys to a second-place finish in the AJHL North Division- the highest finish for the team since the 2009-10 AJHL season. He was promoted after three years with the team as an Assistant Coach.

Storm GM Mark Bomersback says the award is “well deserved,” as the new HC has led the team to one of the team’s most successful seasons in recent memory.

“His hard work and dedication have rubbed off on everyone and has led to a very strong culture within the team and players,” he says. “We look forward to seeing him and the team succeed for the remainder of this year and years to come. Congrats Schmidty!”

The Beaverlodge product has led a storied hockey career. Since being drafted by the LA Kings in the fifth round of the ’94 NHL Draft, Schmidt played four seasons with Seattle, before enjoying a 17-year pro hockey career, representing the Canadian National Team, and the German Olympic team.

Schmidt is joined on the Storm’s Coaching Staff by Assistant Coaches Jordan McTaggart and Brandon Wells, along with GM Mark Bomersback.

Tiny Hands of Hope invites local moms to attend Bereaved Mother’s Day Brunch

Tiny Hands of Hope is inviting mothers to attend their 2nd Annual Bereaved Mother’s Day Brunch to celebrate moms and cherish their children’s memories.

The event is scheduled the week before Mother’s Day, on International Bereaved Mother’s Day. Officials say it is a time to honour and support those who have experienced all types of child loss, serving as a reminder that a mother’s love is forever.

Tiny Hands’ Board Member Alicia McQuaig says while the event is memorial in nature, the brunch is much more of a celebration.

“It’s going to be fun, enjoyable, it’s not going to be a sad day, we save that for our Walk to Remember,” she says. “Especially for those moms that don’t always get to feel like they’re a mom because their child is no longer here with them, this day is really just to give them that recognition, that pride, that day to celebrate.”

McQuaig adds that you don’t have to be a mother to enjoy the day either. She says whether you are a bereaved mother, parent, family member, friend, or simply someone who wants to offer support, you are welcome to attend.

“It’s really just a day where we can come together and celebrate the strength of all the moms who have lost a child,” she says. “It isn’t a memorial event, it is just a day to celebrate the mothers in our lives, so it’s going to be very light, very easy, very breezy.”

The brunch is scheduled for May 4th at 10:00 a.m. at the Pomeroy Hotel. Tickets are available online.

County, City of Grande Prairie’s weight limits on gravel roads now in place 24/7

The County and City of Grande Prairie’s road bans, reducing all gravel roads to 75 per cent axle weight have been updated to be in place for 24 hours a day, instead of the previous 12-hour ban.

MLAs Dyck and Wiebe among three newly-named parliamentary secretaries

A pair of Peace Country MLAs will have a bit more on their plate in 2025.

On March 20th, Premier Danielle Smith named three new parliamentary secretaries to support several provincial initiatives.

Among them, Grande Prairie MLA Nolan Dyck was named Parliamentary Secretary for Indigenous and Rural Policing. Premier Smith says he will serve as an “important voice” for Indigenous Albertans in his new role. 

“As the Parliamentary Secretary for Indigenous and Rural Policing, MLA Nolan Dyck will be an important voice for both rural and Indigenous Albertans, ensuring we keep residents and communities safe across Alberta,” she says.

After his swearing-in, Dyck indicated that he is “honoured” to take on his new role, and looks forward to working with Minister Mike Ellis in the future.

“Our government has been working hard to ensure all Albertans feel safe in their communities, and members of police services feel supported in their work,” he says. 

Grande Prairie-Wapiti MLA Ron Wiebe was sworn in as Parliamentary Secretary for Rural Health for the North Zone and will report to the Minister of Health. Wiebe takes on his new role as Cypress-Medicine Hat MLA Justin Wright takes on a sibling role for the South Zone. Premier Smith says the two will be “key advocates” for rural healthcare in their new positions. 

“As the parliamentary secretaries for South and North Rural Health, MLAs Justin Wright and Ron Wiebe will be key advocates for rural Albertans, ensuring we continue building a better and stronger health care system that serves the needs of all Albertans in every corner of our province.” 

Wiebe enters his new role with an understanding of the seriousness of the job, saying he is honoured to participate in one of the “highest priorities” for Albertans in 2025.

“One of the highest priorities for Albertans is health care,” he says. “Our government is working hard to ensure all Albertans have access to the health care they need, when and where they need it, and I’m honoured to be asked to participate in this work.” 

All three were sworn into their new roles on March 20th, joining six other parliamentary secretaries who will continue working with ministers to deliver on their commitments.

Canadians headed to the polls April 28

Prime Minister Mark Carney visited the Governor General this morning to officially dissolve parliament and launch a brief, 37-day election campaign.

Carney, a former Bank of Canada governor who became prime minister on March 14, faces a challenge from Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, New Democrat Jagmeet Singh, Green Party co-leaders Elizabeth May and Jonathan Pedneault, Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet, and People’s Party Leader Maxime Bernier. Carney will run in the Ottawa riding of Nepean, according to the Liberal Party.

A new Angus Reid poll places Carney’s Liberals five points ahead, reversing an earlier three-point lead by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre. Analysts say tight polling suggests the race could stay too close to call right up until voters head to the polls on April 28.

How to get ready for election day

The campaign is expected to focus heavily on strategies for managing Canada’s trade dispute with U.S. President Donald Trump, forcing Liberal cabinet ministers to juggle negotiations with campaigning duties.

This will be the first election to use a new 343-seat electoral map based on the 2021 Canadian census.

Carney and Poilievre were active on Twitter/X this morning:
