County-Grande Prairie Planning

County government office. The County of Grande Prairie No. 1 is Alberta's first county and is a great place to live, visit, and do business. Located in Northwestern Alberta and surrounded by a boreal forest perimeter, the County is part of the Great Plains Region. The natural resource rich area serves as a home to many industries including Agriculture, Energy, Forestry, Manufacturing and Tourism, and allows for rapidly expanding opportunities for continuing growth. Our rich history combined with our forests, open fields, and picturesque valleys clothed in seasonal splendor, makes the County an all-season recreational paradise.
