City of GP offering free recreation activities for Alberta Day

The City of Grande Prairie has several free experiences planned for Saturday, Aug. 29, to celebrate Alberta Day.

“Alberta Day is a chance to celebrate what makes this province such a special place to call home, including the strong communities that have grown here,” said City of Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton. “In Grande Prairie, we’re celebrating by inviting residents to enjoy our recreation spaces and explore some of the history that has shaped this region.”

From 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Eastlink Centre’s dry activities like the West Fraser Fieldhouse, squash courts, and running track will be open for free, while the pool will be open in two free public waves, once from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and the other from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Meanwhile, a free skate is happening at Bonnets Energy Centre from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. with members of the Grand Prairie Storm available for autographs.
