TRAVEL OPTIONS
Driving (recommended)
Public Transit schedules within Grande Prairie are not as robust as in Edmonton, so it is highly recommended that all learners have a vehicle during their Grande Prairie rotation. Transportation costs (including parking) within Grande Prairie during the rotation are NOT reimbursed.
Travel costs for driving to Grande Prairie and back to Edmonton are reimbursed directly to the resident. Mileage is based on the distance shown on Google maps (459 km each way.) Travel claims are entered by the Office of Rural & Regional.
