"vision"

There has been a lot of talk about vision lately, a vision for the future of our city. With the process of branding, the upcomming election and the building and demolition of some key places in Grande Prairie a lot is going to change. So what does the city look like a few years from now? I'll start with downtown, it is a great place to do business, unique shops and walkability make it a place for people of all ages, families feel comfortable spending time there. Not far from downtown you are connected to the trails system and muskgoseepi park. On hot days families can come down to the park and enjoy the spray deck, the playground and walking trails for free! The pavillion has been equipped with solar pannels showing our city's committment to the environment! From here the college isnt far, and the new hospital is just beyond that, all connected to the trail system. One thing that has stayed the same is the people here. Grande Prairie is a place where people come together, whether it is to celebrate at the Canada day parade or to help out when a family is left with nothing after a fire. Intelligent, talented, friendly people are what really make this city Grande!
