Greenview Council Approves Livestock Veterinary Innovation Initiative Policy
The Livestock Veterinary Innovation Initiative aims to support innovative approaches to increase delivery options and geographic reach of veterinary care to livestock producers. Its goal is to enhance animal health and strengthen the livestock agri-food sector and food supply. This funding initiative seeks to address various challenges, such as the considerable distance between farmers and veterinary facilities and the shortage of large animal veterinarians in rural and remote areas of Greenview.

The Grande Prairie Friendship Centre is hosting the 2024 Grande Gathering Gala event as a fundraiser for their organization. This event brings communities together while celebrating Indigenous culture and strength. Greenview Council approved a sponsorship of Elite Auction Sponsor for a gift-in-kind up to $1,500.00
