"With fresh memories of wildfires hitting close to home, our city is once more engaged in the Grande Prairie Regional Emergency Partnership (GPREP) effort.

This time our partnership joins similar responses being led by the Province of Alberta and multiple cities, including Calgary and Edmonton, in supplying staff and resources to aid evacuated residents from the Northwest Territories.

In addition to the hard work of GPREP, we are also seeing critical contributions of time, knowledge and care by local organizations like the Grande Prairie Friendship Centre.

Together we are committed to offering our northern neighbours support, services, information and solace as they navigate through this challenging season of fires."

- Mayor Jackie Clayton
