Quality of Life

Imagine living in a community where kids matter. A city built around the classic value of family. Where kids and parents can access state-of-the-art aquatic and gymnastic facilities. Where libraries and creative centres cater to the developmental and social needs of growing kids and families. A community that keeps our kids and families safe and has a leading program that was developed to address crime within the city.

Grande Prairie offers a wide variety of activities for all types of interests in including many sports organizations and facilities. Known as the city of volunteers, Grande Prairie offers a fantastic range of coaches, leaders, and support staff for many organized leagues and social based clubs.

A vibrant arts and cultural community thrives in Grande Prairie with well-equipped facilities including live theatre, museums, art galleries, and libraries. A new cultural centre, which will house the newly relocated library and art gallery is under construction. The Community Knowledge Campus, which currently hosts a twin-ice arena, world-class gymnastics centre, outdoor sports fields, and secondary school, is slated for expansion, with a state of the art Aquatic Centre.

Beyond the many organized activities and incredible facilities, families can easily access numerous outdoor recreational opportunities such as hunting, fishing, camping, boating, snowmobiling, and hiking.
