Councillor Wade Pilat has been proud to call Grande Prairie home for more than 45 years. Growing up here was an incredible experience, surrounded by family, friends, and a community that truly supports one another. I feel very fortunate that my wife, Dalene, and I get to raise our daughters, Priya and Saige, in this same great city — a place that still lets kids be kids (with just a little less bubble wrap).
