On September 26th and 27th, 2022, Grande Prairie
participated in its bi-annual Point in Time (PiT) Count
to capture information on the City’s current homeless
population. Initiatives like the PiT Count provide important
data to inform policy decisions, planning, and the
implementation of the 2021–23 Homelessness Strategy
for Grande Prairie. The PiT Count is a coordinated effort to
illustrate the state of homelessness both in Alberta and Canada, as it is conducted in partnership with Infrastructure
Canada (formerly, “Employment and Social Development
Canada”) and the 7 Cities on Housing and Homelessness.
The 7 Cities (Calgary, Grande Prairie, Lethbridge, Edmonton,
Medicine Hat, Red Deer, and Wood Buffalo) have been
working together for over two decades with a common
vision to end homelessness in Alberta.
