City of Grande Prairie site tours and other projects as part of Bear Creek Dam Feasibility Study

May 15, 2025 | 11:14 AM

Several key initiatives centered around the Bear Creek Dam will be unfolding soon.

The City of Grande Prairie will be undertaking projects aimed at planning for the asset’s future, including a feasibility study, opportunities for public input, and structural upgrades.

A survey is available online until June 22 for the public to share their thoughts of the dam and surrounding reservoir, with in-person guided tours of the dam planned for mid-June.

Starting May 20, the City will be conducting geotechnical testing, and residents may notice contractors collection soil samples using an excavator at multiple sites.

And in the fall, the dam is scheduled to undergo an armouring upgrade to strengthen it’s surface against erosion, overflow and structural wear.
