Division 5 Councillor Bob Marshall was elected as Reeve and Division 6 Councillor Peter Harris as Deputy Reeve at today’s County Council organizational meeting.   

“With the support of my fellow Councillors, I am honoured to serve as Reeve for the County,” said Bob Marshall. “This is a challenging time for our economy. Prioritizing residents’ needs by continuing to invest in critical projects and essential programs will remain my focus in this new leadership role.” 

Deputy Reeve Peter Harris said, “I will continue to focus on economic development and ensuring the County remains a great place for residents to live and work. I want to express my gratitude to Council for their ongoing vote of confidence as I begin my fourth term as Deputy Reeve.”    

Reeve Marshall has served on County Council since 2013 as Councillor for Division 5. Deputy Reeve Harris was first elected to Council in 2013 and will continue to represent Division 6. He was first elected Deputy Reeve in October 2019.

Council’s annual organizational meeting provides an opportunity for Councillors to elect a Reeve and Deputy Reeve and make various committee appointments. 

County Council and Administration expressed gratitude to outgoing Reeve Leanne Beaupre for the steadfast support and guidance she has provided in her former leadership role. Beaupre has been on County Council since 2004 and will continue to serve as Councillor for Division 3. She was first elected as the County of Grande Prairie’s Reeve in October 2012.  

A complete list of committee appointments will be available by the end of the week at www.countygp.ab.ca/committees.
