Grande Prairie is the chief city in the northwestern part of the province of Alberta. It is located on the southern edge of the Peace River Country (The Peace Region or simply as "The Peace", as is often locally known), which encompasses much of northwestern Alberta and northeastern BC. The city of Grande Prairie is one of Canada's fastest growing cities. Grande Prairie is the largest city between Edmonton and Fairbanks, Alaska along the Highway 43 and Alaska Highway routes.

The city has adopted the endangered Trumpeter swan as an official symbol because it is near the migration route and summer nesting grounds of this large and graceful swan. For that reason, Grande Prairie is sometimes nicknamed the "Swan City". 
  

Grande Prairie is not just a great place to work and live. It is also a great place to play. Whether it is golfing or fishing, there are many opportunities to find recreation and get away from it all. Come and visit Grande Prairie and discover a side of us too many miss out on.
