A duo from the Grande Prairie region, hoping to bring the teachings of local Indigenous history to outdoor parks and trails in the area, has kicked off a fundraiser to help the initiative come to fruition.

The In My Backyard Project, founded by Joselyn Dueck and Kate Weber, is an initiative hoping to bring signage and educational programming focusing on local history and traditional teachings, starting in Kleskun Hills.
