City of Grande Prairie
Population: 50,227


The City of Grande Prairie has seen tremendous growth over the past ten years as our economy has prospered from the wealth of natural resources in the region. In 2001, the City's population was barely over the 35,000 mark and it surpassed 50,000 as of Spring 2007. Results of the municipal census undertaken in the late spring of 2007 show the city's new population as 50,227, a 6.69% increase over the 2006 Statistics Canada figure of 47,076. The city's population has climbed by 12.53% since the 2005 city enumeration, which recorded Grande Prairie with 44,631 residents.

The demographic profile is opposite to the average Canadian community. As Canada’s population shows an aging population, Grande Prairie’s increase is due to the in-migration of young families that are building and shaping the future of our community.

A detailed report on the demographics of Grande Prairie will be released in late-2007. Copies of the report will be available for sale to the public at that time from the City Cler's department. The City Clerk may be reached via e-mail at cityclerk@cityofgp.com.
