Grande Prairie, affectionately known as Swan City, is a northwestern Albertan city. It’s northwest of Edmonton and is the seventh largest city in Alberta. Why is Grande Prairie called Swan City? Swans fly over Grande Prairie during their migration route and come back to nest in the summer.
Grande Prairie gets its name from the vast prairies that lay to the city’s north, east and west. Agriculture was the first industry when Grande Prairie was settled. Today the city enjoys a diversified economy, but agriculture still plays a role. Despite Grande Prairie’s northern situation, the climate is warm enough for many crops to grow. Other industries that play into Grande Prairie’s economy are oil and gas, forestry and food services.
Grande Prairie has plenty of cultural offerings. The city hosts summer long music festivals, and the downtown bars take part in the arts scene. The city also has conference centres, sports facilities and an impressive number of golf courses.

Green Initiatives
We are committed to keeping our operations green. The shipping container industry is highly wasteful, with 56% of the world’s shipping containers lying dormant. It takes a lot of resources to transport these containers to a plant and smelt them down. Better to avoid it entirely; at Secure Container we are diligent about repurposing our containers, prolonging their lifespan. This results in great savings for our customers!
