Nolan Dyck
Nolan Brant Dyck is the Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Grande Prairie and a member of Alberta's United Conservative Party. First elected in the 2023 provincial election, he has focused his work on strengthening Alberta's economy, supporting families, protecting children, keeping life affordable, defending individual freedoms, improving public safety, and creating opportunities for Grande Prairie and northern Alberta.
Since being elected, Nolan has taken on several leadership roles within government. In March 2025, he was appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Indigenous and Rural Policing, where he works alongside Indigenous leaders, municipalities, police services, and provincial ministries to strengthen public safety and policing across Alberta's rural and Indigenous communities.
Nolan also serves as Chair of the Public Security Indigenous Advisory Committee (PSIAC), bringing Indigenous leaders and public safety partners together to provide advice and recommendations to government on Indigenous policing and community safety.
He currently serves as Chair of the Standing Committee on Resource Stewardship, leading committee work involving Alberta's energy sector, forestry, agriculture, transportation, Indigenous relations, and natural resources. Under his leadership, the committee completed the statutory review of Alberta's Public Interest Disclosure (Whistleblower Protection) Act, providing recommendations to strengthen protections for Albertans who report wrongdoing.

Legislative Accomplishments
As a legislator, Nolan has successfully sponsored two Private Members' Bills and two Private Members' Motions that were adopted by the Legislative Assembly.
His first Private Member's Bill, Bill 203 – Foreign Credential Advisory Committee Act, established an advisory committee focused on improving Alberta's foreign credential recognition system and helping internationally trained professionals more efficiently put their skills and experience to work in Alberta while maintaining professional standards.
In 2024, Nolan introduced Private Members' Motion 510, which called on the Government of Alberta to recognize the importance of the family unit and affirm the rights of parents and guardians in the upbringing, development, education, health care, and well-being of their children. The motion was adopted by the Legislative Assembly.
Nolan later introduced Bill 207 – Primary Provincial Industries Statutes Amendment Act, recognizing the importance of Alberta's primary industries, including energy, agriculture, forestry, construction, and the skilled trades. The legislation strengthened opportunities for Alberta students to learn about these industries, understand their importance to the province, and explore the careers available within them. Bill 207 also established February 13 as Fossil Fuel Recognition Day, recognizing the historic and ongoing contribution of Alberta's oil, natural gas, and coal industries to the province's economy, communities, and way of life.
In 2026, Nolan successfully introduced Private Members' Motion 513, focused on strengthening public safety and reinforcing the importance of effective policing, crime prevention, and safer communities across Alberta.
Protecting Children and Supporting Parents
Protecting children and supporting the role of parents has also been an important part of Nolan's work in government. He has supported Alberta's efforts to ensure parents remain closely involved in important decisions affecting their children, to protect children from making irreversible medical decisions before adulthood, and to protect fairness and safety in women's and girls' competitive sport.
This includes supporting Alberta's Fairness and Safety in Sport Act, which protects female-only competitive divisions for women and girls, as well as legislation strengthening parental involvement in education and protecting children and youth when it comes to life-altering medical decisions. Nolan believes parents have the primary role in raising their children and that government has a responsibility to protect children while preserving their opportunities and choices for the future.
Affordability and Family Finances
Nolan believes Albertans should be able to keep more of the money they earn. He supported Alberta's new 8 per cent personal income tax bracket on the first $60,000 of income, reducing provincial income taxes by as much as $750 per taxpayer in 2025. For Albertans earning $60,000 or less, the change represented a 20 per cent reduction in provincial personal income tax.
Affordability also means looking beyond taxes to the everyday bills families cannot avoid. Electricity distribution costs are a particular concern in rural and northern Alberta, where residents can pay substantially more in distribution charges because of lower population density and the greater distances required to deliver electricity. Nolan believes Alberta's electricity system needs to recognize those realities and continues to support efforts to ensure northern and rural families are treated fairly when it comes to the cost of keeping their homes and businesses powered.
For Nolan, keeping Alberta affordable means controlling government costs, keeping taxes low, protecting Alberta's tax advantage, encouraging competition and investment, and making sure families, seniors, workers, and small businesses are able to keep more of what they earn.
Community Accomplishments
Representing Grande Prairie has given Nolan the opportunity to advocate for projects and investments that will have a lasting impact on the community and northwestern Alberta.
A major focus has been improving access to health care in the North. Nolan advocated for the establishment of the Northern Alberta Medical Program at Northwestern Polytechnic, bringing medical education to Grande Prairie and creating an opportunity to train future physicians in the communities where they are needed. The first cohort began training in Grande Prairie in 2025.
He has also supported expanded health-care services closer to home, including the Sargent Family Kidney Care Centre, which brings additional dialysis and specialized kidney services together in Grande Prairie, and continued improvements to the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital.
Nolan worked with community leaders and partners to help secure $1 million in provincial funding for Ken Sargent House, a community-led project designed to provide a home away from home for patients and families who must travel to Grande Prairie for medical care.
Building opportunities for young people and skilled workers has also been a priority. Nolan has supported a major expansion of skilled trades training at Northwestern Polytechnic, including additional trades training seats and the development of a new Skilled Trades Training Centre. These investments are helping prepare more people for careers in construction, energy, transportation, and other industries that are vital to the Peace Region's economy.
As Grande Prairie continues to grow, Nolan has advocated for additional education infrastructure. This includes helping move the proposed Grande Prairie Composite High School expansion from planning into design, an important step toward creating additional space for students and teachers in one of Alberta's fastest-growing communities.
That work is extending into junior and senior high school through Grande Prairie Technical Institute, creating new pathways for students to gain practical experience, explore the skilled trades, and connect their education with future careers.
He has also advocated for investments in local schools and community infrastructure, including playground funding, and has worked with local organizations, municipalities, school divisions, Northwestern Polytechnic, health-care partners, and community leaders to bring Grande Prairie's priorities to the provincial government.
Regional transportation, health care, and economic infrastructure have remained important priorities as well. Nolan has supported and continued to advocate for Highway 40, the Highway 43X bypass, the Maskwa Medical Centre, and an Addiction Recovery Centre, recognizing their importance to families, workers, industry, and communities throughout northwestern Alberta.
Across these projects, Nolan's approach has been to work alongside the people and organizations already leading in the community and ensure Grande Prairie has a strong voice when decisions are being made in Edmonton.
Early Life and Business Career
Before entering politics, Nolan was an entrepreneur. At just 18 years old, he founded his first construction company and later built and managed several businesses in the Grande Prairie region.
His experience in construction, skilled trades, entrepreneurship, and small business continues to shape his approach to public service. He understands the challenges of building a business, creating jobs, meeting payroll, managing employees, and working in industries that are central to Alberta's economy.
That background has contributed to his focus on reducing barriers to employment, expanding skilled trades opportunities, supporting responsible resource development, keeping taxes competitive, and creating an economic environment where businesses, workers, and families can succeed.
Serving Grande Prairie
Nolan believes Grande Prairie and northwestern Alberta have an important role to play in Alberta's future.
His work in the Legislature has focused on health-care access in the North, skilled trades and workforce development, responsible resource development, public safety, affordability, protecting children and supporting parents, economic growth, individual freedom, and ensuring rural and northern communities have a strong voice in provincial decision-making.
At the centre of that work is a belief in the people of Grande Prairie: the people who get up early, work hard, build businesses, raise families, volunteer in the community, and keep Alberta's economy moving.
A Strong and Free Alberta
Nolan believes Alberta's future depends on remaining both strong and free.
A strong Alberta is one that stands up for its interests, develops its resources responsibly, keeps communities safe, supports families, and creates the conditions for people and businesses to succeed.
A free Alberta is one where individuals and families have room to make their own choices and build their own lives. That means protecting the freedom to worship, speak openly, work, start a business, raise a family, own property, and pursue opportunity without unnecessary government interference.
For Nolan, government should protect those freedoms, respect the role of parents and families, reward hard work, and remain accountable to the people it serves.
His goal is an Alberta where people are free to build a life on their own terms, confident that the opportunities they enjoy today will be there for their children and grandchildren tomorrow.
