Jasmin Greavett
Executive Director

Jasmin Greavett

A serendipitous chain of events brought Jasmin to join the GPRTA as Executive Director in January 2025. She quickly settled into her role and strives to apply her years of experience in both the non-profit and public sectors to grow the capacity of the GPRTA, its members, and the Grande Prairie regional tourism industry to new heights.

A native of friendly Manitoba, Jasmin’s love for travel has taken her from the Yukon to Ontario, throughout much of the United States and Mexico, across Central America, and to Greece, Turkey, Taiwan and the Philippines. But it was Grande Prairie she chose to call home in 2009. Since then, her family has grown from a party of 1 to a party of 4 (and their dog, Bella).

Jasmin’s a fair-weather creature who enjoys the diverse opportunities for camping, concerts, and outdoor recreation in the area. She’s frequently found by or on the water with a paddle, ski rope or fishing rod in her hand.

Helen Beaulieu

Born and raised in Edmonton, Helen moved to Grande Prairie after graduating college in 1986. Her first job was a Tour Guide for, then Procter and Gamble (now International Paper), so she feels this position at GPRTA is like coming full circle. Since that first job, Helen has put down roots in Grande Prairie, getting married, having her two babies and now getting to be a Grandma. Her career path led to working as a graphic designer, production coordinator and manager in the print, sign and vehicle graphics industries. She started with the daily newspaper and has worked for Parsons Printing, Menzies Printers and TrimFX. Now, she is excited to be taking a new direction back into the world of tourism. “It is so much fun everyday to meet new people. This is such a great “job” showing off everything our region has to offer to visitors from all over the world.”
