Supporting kids in Grande Prairie means helping every student walk into class feeling prepared. School supplies may seem simple, but a backpack, notebook, or set of pencils can make a real difference in a student’s confidence and ability to participate.

Thank you to Northwestern Alberta Foundation New Horizon Co-operative Weyerhaeuser Swan City Rotary Club Thatchwood Ventures Ltd. helping turn practical support into a stronger start for students.

What if one golf ball could change two lives?

On October 18th, Gemini Helicopters will drop 2,000 golf balls from the sky onto 2nd Base at South Bear Creek Ball Diamond #7 and one lucky winner will walk away with $10,000!

But beyond the excitement, this is about something bigger. Our Third Annual Heli Drop supports Big Brothers Big Sisters After-School Education Program, designed to give students across our city the additional help they need to reach their full educational potential. Together, we can ensure that every child has the tools and support they need to succeed. 🎓

Come out, have fun, and be part of something meaningful.

🎒 Stuffing the Backpacks with United Way Alberta Northwest 🎒

Some of our Centerpoint team members had an amazing time out in the community helping Stuff the Backpacks with United Way’s Tools for School initiative. Being part of something that supports children and families right here in Grande Prairie is always a highlight for our staff! Community connection is truly at the heart of what we do.

A huge thank‑you to everyone involved in making sure kids have what they need to feel confident and prepared walking into class. Your hard work, generosity, and dedication make a real difference for families across our region, and we’re grateful to be part of it.
