Town of Spirit River

Town of Spirit River Located 80 kms north of Grande Prairie, Spirit River is one of the oldest towns in the Central Peace Region. Spirit River later became a town in 1951.

Located 80 km north of Grande Prairie, this vibrant northern town offers everything you need, including schools, a hospital, an arena, a curling rink, an outdoor pool, and various indoor activities. The Old Spirit River Settlement was located about 3 miles southeast of the old Mission. In 1888, the Hudson Bay Company began a cattle ranch four kilometers to the southeast on the banks of the Spirit

River to serve traders at Fort Dunvegan. In 1891, a trading post became the original settlement along the banks of the Spirit River. Because the railroad missed this location, those early settlers decided to move and it split into two communities, one to the west( Now Spirit River), and one to the east (Now Rycroft). The present location of Spirit River was surveyed in 1915, and in 1916 it was incorporated as a village, the same year the railroad arrived.

🥒 FREE ZUCCHINI! 🥒
We have been very fortunate to receive an abundance of beautiful zucchini generously donated by one of our wonderful garden volunteers, Oksana. 💚
The zucchini is located beside the shed at the Rycroft Community Garden and is available for anyone to take!
Whether you’re making zucchini bread, casseroles, soups, relish—or just enjoying it fresh—please help yourself! 🥒🌱
A big thank you to Oksana for sharing her harvest with our community. This is what community gardening is all about—growing, sharing and helping one another! ❤️
Please take what you can use and leave some for others. 😊
