Grande Prairie & area Back in the Day

Feb 24, 2018 | 6:00 AM

A local man is taking Facebook users down memory lane and rekindling old friendships at the same time.

Mike Bortnick created Grande Prairie and Region Back in the Day where people post pictures of the city before it was a city.

“Well a lot of the other places there’s always drama and complaining about road conditions but with this, it is just general historical pictures.”

He says people are also sharing their stories and reconnecting with former classmates.

“And it’s not just the pictures, I saw some comments on there where people are re-connecting with classmates they haven’t talked to in years.”

There are over 9,000 members on the page that was started on the 12th.
