Dating its charter back to January 22, 1951, the Rotary Club in Grande Prairie originally met at the York Hotel and established itself with 26 members. The Club has made itself at home in many Grande Prairie spots, moving from Joe’s Coffee Shop (on the corner of 100 and 100, downtown), Golden Star Restaurant, Grande Prairie Inn, and the Quality Inn (now Paradise Inn).
Since our early beginnings, the club has grown immensely, bringing many of the same values and goals to our community by supporting organizations and projects through donations and volunteer services.
Today, the Rotary Club of Grande Prairie meets every Friday at the Holiday Inn. The room opens at 12 p.m. with the meeting starting at 12:15 p.m. and lasting about an hour.
As President of the Rotary Club of Grande Prairie, I’m deeply honoured to lead a club that has spent 75 years serving our community and beyond. We are rooted in fellowship, inclusivity, and impact — supporting youth, strengthening food security, building homes, protecting our environment, and investing in leaders of tomorrow. We are grateful for partnerships that help us give back locally and globally, and we remain committed to creating positive change by bringing people together in service above self.
The Rotary Club of Grande Prairie has strong ties to Rotary in the Peace Region, sponsoring many clubs over the years:
Fort St. John Club | Swan City Rotary Club | Grande Prairie After Five Club | Grande Cache Rotary Club Sexsmith Interact Club | Rotaract Club of Grande Prairie | Interact Club at the Composite High School
Rotary serves Grande Prairie and surrounding communities in many ways, including through hands-on projects, funding, and leadership. In addition to our various fundraisers and projects, our Club has allocated over $500,000 in “Small Donations” for local groups that apply to our Club for funding.
