Throwback Thursdays
We've partnered with The South Peace Regional Archives to showcase our Region's history! Each week we feature a historical photo from somewhere in the Region.
Our local Destination Marketing Fund, a sub committee of GPRTA, helps promote tourism to Grande Prairie and Region! They consist of hotels and campgrounds that charge a daily fee on their respective accommodation rates.
These funds are used to market Grande Prairie & Region. Examples can be sponsorship opportunities, local event promotions, and community involvement. Their main goal is to be contributors in increasing tourism to Grande Prairie & Region.
For more information on what the DMF is, check out their website www.gprda.ca.

Reach new heights in guest comfort at the Podollan Inn & Spa, Grande Prairie’s premier full-service boutique-style hotel. As an independently owned accommodation, they do things a little differently than their chain-style counterparts. Service here is a little more personal, a little more chic and a little more luxurious with each return visit.
