City of Grande Prairie promoting “responsible coexistence”

Jul 25, 2025 | 7:10 AM

The City of Grande Prairie is reminding residents once again to not feed wildlife.

This comes as the Swanavon neighbourhood has seen a boom in its rabbit population, which has led to mixed reactions from residents.

However, this does not apply to just rabbits but all animals, as it can cause “more challenges over time, encouraging animals to stay in areas where they may become a hazard.”

The City of Grande Prairie has shared a wildlife guide to help promote “responsible coexistence,” which is now available on their website.
