Grandin Media informs and engages through the telling of inspiring stories of Catholic life in today’s world, particularly in central and northern Alberta.

Grandin Media takes its name from Vital-Justin Grandin, an Oblate who was tireless in his efforts to share the good news of the Gospel.

At the time, the diocese covered large parts of present-day Alberta, Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories. Grandin walked about 25,000 miles in snowshoes over the course of his ministry.
