Grande Prairie (federal electoral district)
Federal electoral district in Alberta, Canada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grande Prairie is a federal electoral district in northwestern Alberta, created in 2012 as Grande Prairie—Mackenzie from the Peace River district.[2] It contains the western half of Alberta's Peace region, including the city of Grande Prairie (where more than half its residents live). It is impossible to traverse the district by road without leaving it, as the section of the Peace River contained within has no bridges or ferries.
