Greenview Sponsors Grande Prairie Aboriginal Circle of Services (GPACOS) 9th Annual Round Dance

GPACOS is an inter-agency group that works to help strengthen communities and services for Aboriginal people within the Grande Prairie area.

This event is a day of colorful dance and drumming, traditional foods, cultural education, and inclusiveness open to the public.
Greenview Council Provides Financial Support for Truth and Reconciliation Event in Grande Prairie
The Grande Prairie Aboriginal Circle of Services (GPACOS) invites the public to come together on September 30, 2023, at Muskoseepi Park in Grande Prairie to honour and recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. To assist GPACOS in facilitating this event, Greenview Council approved a sponsorship of $1000.00.
Relocation of Grant Funding to Ridgevalley Seniors Home Approved
Greenview Council awarded the Ridgevalley Seniors Home a capital grant in 2022 to complete upgrades at the facility. Recently, the facility has experienced mechanical issues with the boiler that provides hot water within the building, making replacing the equipment a top priority. To complete this project, funding previously allocated to facility upgrades is needed to install a new boiler. Council approved the reallocation of funds they received from the 2022 capital grant.
