When Grande Prairie Introductions Get Too Real


Two hands shaking in the top image, followed by someone washing hands with soap in the bottom image, symbolizing reactions to meeting someone from Grande Prairie.

Meeting someone from Grande Prairie always comes with a bit of hesitation, especially if you’ve heard the stories. This meme hilariously captures the internal reaction of someone politely shaking hands, only to immediately feel the need to sanitize afterward. It’s not personal—it’s just the Alberta way of stereotyping one of its own towns. Whether it’s about the local grime or the infamous rumors about the place, this joke brings out a sense of humor that’s all too familiar for Albertans.

You don’t need to be from Edmonton or Calgary to understand this kind of banter. The idea of needing to wash your hands after meeting someone from Grande Prairie might be exaggerated, but it’s all in good fun. After all, what’s an Alberta joke if it doesn’t poke a little fun at a specific town?
