RE:A little light at end of tunnel The potential of the Montney is a big reason why there's so much activity in the region, including in Grande Prairie.
It's a hub for oil and gas, a hot spot for work and the place to come for everything from groceries to RVs, whether you live in Alberta or across the border in B.C. It's not a quite a "boom," like four or five years ago, but it has some of the hallmarks, including lots of "Help Wanted" signs.
"If you look at the Grande Prairie area compared to the rest of the province, we are significantly busier," said Rob Petrone, longtime president of the local petroleum association.
