The Community Foundation of Northwestern Alberta invites you to celebrate  an amazing year of investing in community.
 
Invest Northwest is an evening to celebrate the deserving recipients of our annual Student Awards and Community Impact Grants. Providing post-secondary students and charitable organizations with the resources they need to succeed is an essential way that your Community Foundation strengthens community throughout our region.
 
To date, your Community Foundation has disbursed over $4.45 million in grants to charitable organizations, including 192 student awards in support of local post-secondary students in their educational pursuits. Through the relationships with our friends, donors and supporters, the Community Foundation of Northwestern Alberta continues to invest in community, support future leaders and strengthen our region.
 
Join us in recognizing this year's deserving recipients, realizing the impact that endowment funds held at the Community Foundation of Northwestern Alberta have on our region and celebrating community.

The County of Grande Prairie has been working on developing a Growth and Economic Development Strategy that provides a roadmap for attracting new investment and ensures long-term and sustainable growth. The plan also provides a framework for how land in the County can best be utilized to create additional economic opportunities for the area. The County is proactively defining current and future economic opportunities that can supplement its rich agricultural, resource and tourism-based economy. By gaining a comprehensive understanding of the social, economic, and environmental factors at play in the County, the Growth and Economic Development Strategy will establish a 50-year vision that shows how to best accommodate future growth, and how to strengthen economic development in a sustainable, responsible way.
 
As a follow up to all the public consultation that has been conducted, the County is hosting two open house evenings to present a draft Growth and Economic Development Strategy. We invite you to join us at this presentation which will offer an opportunity to engage with our team working on the Strategy. We will look forward to any feedback you may provide. Food and refreshments will be provided.
