The city adopted the trumpeter swan as an official symbol due to its proximity to the migration route and summer nesting sites of this bird. For that reason, Grande Prairie is sometimes nicknamed the “Swan City”. The dinosaur has become an unofficial symbol of the city due to paleontology discoveries in the areas north and west of the Grande Prairie.
