On April 17, 2023, City Council endorsed the Indigenous Relations Framework for the City of Grande Prairie.

The Framework is a response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action (TRC)  and the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP) with a local approach to how the City of Grande Prairie is supporting the advancement of Truth and Reconciliation.

The Focus Areas of the Framework include:

Building Connections

The City of Grande Prairie acknowledges that building relationships with local Indigenous governments

and organizations is pivotal to advancing the Calls to Action for Truth and Reconciliation. Connecting

with neighbouring Indigenous representatives and working toward fostering collaborative

environments is an important step for building bridges to reconciliation.
