Since the last provincial election, our local Electoral District boundaries have changed. While Grande Prairie used to be split into two consituencies, Grande Prairie-Wapiti and Grande Prairie-Smokey, the City of Grande Prairie is now a constituency on its own

The 2016/17 Electoral Boundaries Commission proposed the change. 

They wrote :"This recommendation responds to a significant number of submissions asking the Commission to create a single urban electoral division within the City of Grande Prairie. Submitters suggested the constituency’s MLA would thus be better able to address urban issues, including those arising from the economic downturn affecting oil and gas production. This problem is exacerbated in the eyes of these submitters because both parts of the City of Grande Prairie currently fall within blended ridings." (Elections Alberta).
