Residents from across the City of Grande Prairie are invited to take part in Welcoming Week events across the municipality later this month.
Hosted by Grande Prairie’s Local Immigration Partnership, welcoming Week looks to connect new arrivals with long-standing residents, which helps develop a sense of belonging across the community.
“Welcoming Week is a time to reflect on the richness that diversity brings to Grande Prairie,” says Mayor Jackie Clayton. “We encourage everyone to join in the celebration, attend the City’s events, and experience firsthand how ‘We’re All In’ on making our community a welcoming place for everyone.”
Throughout the week, events will include a job fair, a number of municipal information sessions, including learning the ins and outs of transit, mental health and wellness, and more.
Welcoming Week runs from September 11th to 22nd, and you can find a full list of events, and information on how to register on the City of Grande Prairie website.
