County Honours Fire Graduates, Emergency Service Achievements at Annual Award Ceremony 

The County of Grande Prairie gathered this evening to recognize the achievements of the Regional Fire Service and Enforcement members during the 2024 graduation and service award ceremony. 

Fifty-nine award recipients were honoured for their years of service, outstanding contributions, and career milestones, and three Fire Services graduates celebrated completion of their training.  

Families, community members, County Councillors and staff joined in recognizing the graduates as they took their official oath, administered by Reeve Bob Marshall, marking the beginning of their careers in the Regional Fire Service. Additionally, long-serving members were acknowledged with special awards presented for peer recognition and exceptional service. 

“Our emergency services professionals demonstrate outstanding commitment and deserve our deepest gratitude,” said Reeve Marshall. “We are proud to support them in their ongoing dedication to keeping our families, friends, and communities safe.” 

“We are grateful to have so many skilled and devoted people protecting our communities, said County Fire Chief Trevor Grant. “The courage they display in their service to others is commendable and inspiring.”
