918. City of Grande Prairie Councillor Chris Thiessen

Welcome to Cross Border Interviews.

Our goal is to create meaningful municipal conversations that inform, connect, educate and strengthen communities from coast to coast to coast in Canada.

For this edition of Cross Border Interviews, we are honoured to welcome to the show, from the City of Grande Prairie Alberta Councillor Chris Thiessen

Grande Prairie is located in Northwestern Alberta, in the heart of the Peace Region. It is the largest city North of Edmonton, Alberta's capital city, and the largest city in Treaty 8 territory. It is a thriving young city full of continuous growth and opportunity.

Grande Prairie acts as a regional hub serving an additional 295,000+ people from across Northern Alberta, Northern British Columbia and the Northwest Territories. It sits as the largest commercial centre north of Edmonton.

Grande Prairie's economy is based on four pillars: oil and gas, forestry, agriculture and retail. This diversity provides a great opportunity for workers across a variety of industries.
