Over 1,500 people rally in Grande Prairie in support of oil and gas industry
GRANDE PRAIRIE- It was an eventful day at Muskoseepi Park in Grande Prairie on Sunday, as crowds of people began to show up around noon for the Support Oil and Gas Rally.
The local group who planned the rally says the event was meant to highlight Canada’s oil crisis, and Bill C-69.
Organizers said over a thousand people were in attendance at the rally, which was then followed by a convoy.
At 1 p.m. the event kicked off with a musical performance by Chance Tomke, and soon after, speeches from representatives of both government and the oil and gas industry were under way.
