Cold Lake, AB – With cannabis legislation around the corner, the City of Cold Lake has implemented one new bylaw, and updated three others.
“We took a lot of time to go over the bylaws we wanted to implement in the city,” said Mayor Craig Copeland. “We took a more restrictive approach, to keep cannabis use out of public areas.”
The new Cannabis Use Bylaw covers consuming cannabis, and the restrictions in doing so. People within the city limits cannot consume cannabis in any way in public places, but can use it on private property.
A public place is considered to be any of the following, where cannabis cannot be consumed. A full list can be found within the bylaw on www.coldlake.com:

Cold Lake, AB – The City of Cold Lake’s award-winning transit system is set to hit the road with two new buses on Tuesday, Oct. 16.
“It’s an exciting time for Cold Lake Transit,” said Mayor Craig Copeland. “We have been building this service for the last three years, and to see these new buses come onto the streets of Cold Lake is a proud moment for us.”
The two new buses are kneeling, low-floor models from Nova Bus Montreal, designed specifically for Cold Lake Transit. Each has 35 seats, or space for 29 seats and two wheelchairs.
The buses will be on display at the Tri City Mall parking lot at 11:30 a.m. before entering into regular service at noon. The public is invited to come out and browse the new buses at this time, as well as hop on for the inaugural runs.
“Public transit has proven to be a necessary amenity in Cold Lake,” said Copeland. “I’m thankful to staff for all the hard work they have put in to making these new buses a reality. Everything from the Cold Lake Transit logo and colours, to the details of the insides is due to many hours of dedicated work.”
At this time, Cold Lake Transit remains free of charge to use, though this topic will be revisited during City Council’s upcoming budget deliberations. Funding for the purchase of the buses was provided by the federal Public Transit Infrastructure Fund and provincial GreenTRIP grants.
In March 2017, Cold Lake Transit won the Minister’s Award of Excellence for Transit/Accessible Transportation Innovation during the 20th Annual Tri-Party Transportation Conference.

Cold Lake, AB – The City of Cold Lake was honoured with two awards this week for its Public Works achievements.
The Kinosoo Beach Enhancement Project was awarded “Project of the Year” by the Alberta Public Works Association in the $1 million to $5 million category.
“The amount of planning, dedication, and hard work that has gone into Kinosoo Beach is outstanding,” said Mayor Craig Copeland. “And the crowd of people at the beach all summer shows how important this is to our community – it’s a focal point for major celebrations and a family gathering spot every day of the summer. It’s one of Canada’s best beaches and the word is getting out.”
Two phases of the Kinosoo Beach Master Plan have been completed, with all of the major work completed on time. Work has included a new multi-purpose court, a new promenade, traffic calming measures on the roadway, a transformed and improved storm water drainage, a splash park, grandstand, extensive landscaping and new trails and lighting.
The awards were presented to city representatives General Manager of Infrastructure Services Azam Khan and Transportation Services Manager George Urlacher at the American Public Works Association’s Alberta Chapter conference. At the same conference, they also accepted an award for the city’s National Public Works Week events – for the third year in a row.

Cold Lake, AB – Pieces are falling into place for the Alberta 55 plus Winter Games being hosted in Cold Lake in 2019.
A volunteer board has been working with representatives from the city, organizing individual activities, marketing, finances, volunteers, and the entertainment that goes along with the opening ceremonies.
“We’re putting a Cold Lake spin on the opening ceremonies,” said Mayor Craig Copeland. “We want the participants to come to our city and leave with memories that will not be easily forgotten.”
The games will be taking place in Cold Lake from March 1 to 3 next year, with registration taking place on Feb. 28.
Though the volunteer board is up and running, there is still a need for volunteers for the games themselves.
“The organizing committee is doing an amazing job so far. As things come together, we are going to need a lot of volunteers to help out the weekend of the games,” said Copeland. “People can sign up now, even if they’re not quite sure if they will be free at the time.”

Cold Lake, AB – The City of Cold Lake Parks and Recreation Department has a busy few weeks ahead with fall weed spraying and marina weed cutting lined up.
Weed cutting will be taking place at the Cold Lake Marina on Wednesday, Sept. 19, where a contractor will be cutting and removing weeds from the boating lanes between the docks.
"It's important to keep the weeds down in the Marina, and we have received approval from the government to start pulling up weeds," said Craig Copeland. "Because the Marina is part of a larger ecosystem, there are some pretty strict guidelines that we need to follow."
The Marina weed cutting is expected to take the full day. Boaters are asked to be aware of any workers in the area, and thank them for their patience while work is taking place.
Weed spraying will also take place in the city, starting Sept. 17, and running until Sept. 21. This spraying includes city-owned parks, playgrounds, green spaces, and public utility right-of-ways.
Spraying will begin in Cold Lake South, and the contractor will work their way north between those dates. Signage will be posted in the area 24 hours prior to spraying beginning, and residents are encouraged to stay out of the area until 24 hours after the spraying has been completed. Specific dates will be posted on the signage for each area, and there will be a phone number on the sign if any residents have questions. The schedule may alter due to weather.
