How it All Began
The Grande Prairie Photo Club was founded by a group of college students, and instructor Doug Duplessis who gathered to discuss the feasibility of starting a photo club. Following an encouraging meeting, two students, Pam Walker and Brenda Mansfield initiated the first meeting on May 16, 2005.
What began as a gathering of like-minded individuals has grown into a vibrant community where photographers of all experience levels are welcome.
Over the years, the club has continued to evolve while staying true to its original purpose: creating opportunities to learn, inspire one another, explore new ideas, and enjoy photography with others.
Today, our members continue to meet regularly to exchange knowledge, participate in workshops and photo outings, learn from guest speakers, and celebrate each other's creative achievements.
Whether you've been photographing for decades or you've just picked up your first camera, there's a place for you at the Grande Prairie Photo Club.
