Cold Lake, AB – The City of Cold Lake has applied for and received approval for a rebate Recreation Energy Conservation (REC) Program offer through the Municipal Climate Change Action Centre (MCCAC) towards the lighting retrofit project at the Cold Lake Energy Centre.
“We are excited to get started with this retrofit,” Mayor Craig Copeland said. “Not only will this standardize lighting so that the older phases of the Energy Centre will match the new construction, but it will reduce operating costs and save a significant amount of power needed for lighting a large and very well-used facility.”
The Energy Centre lighting retrofit project involves the replacement of existing fluorescent lighting fixtures in both the Imperial Oil Place Arena and the Reid Field House, with new LED technology. Retrofit of the Imperial Oil Place Arena involved replacement of 198 fixtures resulting in an estimated annual savings of 168,910 KwH equated to an estimated $10,357.59 in annual cost savings. The Reid Field House would have 119 fixtures retrofitted resulting in an estimated annual savings of 76,647 Kwh equating to an estimated $4,577.35 in annual cost savings.
The REC Program helps municipally-owned recreation facilities reduce energy use and GHG emissions by providing financial rebates to help identify energy-saving opportunities and implement energy-saving projects. The rebate equates to either 75 per cent of the Energy Conservation Measure (ECM) or the amount required to reach a one year simple payback, whichever is lesser.
Cold Lake, AB – The Lakeview Cemetery is going to see some upgrades over the next nine months.
“This cemetery is an important piece of our history, and deserved to see some improvements,” said Mayor Craig Copeland.
Improvements include an asphalt drive-through lane connecting 25 Street to the back cemetery lane; upgraded columbaria units; a paver stone walkway with memorial wall; bench seating, and planting upgrades. As well, a new sign will mark the entrance to the cemetery.
Cold Lake, AB – The City of Cold Lake was among other participants of the most recent Mid-sized Cities Mayors’ and Chief Administration Officers’ caucus meeting, where new opportunities were discussed.
“We want to make sure Cold Lake is represented at these meetings,” said Mayor Craig Copeland, who attended the event. “With so many municipal leaders in one place, it’s a great opportunity to discuss what hurdles our communities may be facing.”
Gathering in Lethbridge over two days last week, 22 Alberta municipalities discussed a variety of key issues, ranging from the mortgage stress test to a provincial drug strategy. A portion of the meeting focused on the MacKinnon Report, with the Minister of Municipal Affairs, Kaycee Madu, outlining potential impact of the recommendations for municipalities.
On the second day, the caucus heard from Premier Jason Kenney, who spoke about how he will continue to partner with municipalities for economic growth, jobs, diversification, innovation, and opportunities to grow revenue.
Cold Lake, AB – The City of Cold Lake will be opening two locations for recycling drop-off, as part of the city’s commitment to a cost-effective recycling program.
These locations will have large bins to accept cardboard, mixed paper, plastics, aluminum cans, and tins. Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the drop-off locations will be located at the Energy Centre and 4811 50 Street, which is the old Grand Centre Hotel site.
“This is an exciting venture for the City of Cold Lake, as we branch out into a more convenient recycling process for the community,” said Mayor Craig Copeland. “These sites are meant to give residents a convenient place to drop off of recyclable items, in addition to regular curbside recycling.”
As part of the enhanced service levels for recycling in the community, construction is underway at the Cold Lake Transfer Station for a new Materials Recycling Facility. It will become the central location for all city recycling, where it will be further sorted and bailed, providing a cost-effective recycling program for residents. There is no expected change in the biweekly schedule for residential recycling pick-up.
Cold Lake, AB – The Cold Lake Bicycle Park is pushing forward, despite potential hurdles ahead.
On Tuesday, Council voted in favour to proceed as quickly as possible with the Cold Lake Bicycle Skills Park & Trails – Ride / Training Centre Master Plan, pending any environmental screening and historical resources approvals.
“This park has a huge volunteer base from the community looking to support the project,” said Mayor Craig Copeland. “It’s great to see so many people keen on seeing this park come to life.”
Council heard that the contractor specializing in bike park construction became available on short notice and that several kilometres of trails could be completed this year, pending provincial approvals and weather.
Work would begin on the "intermediate" and "basic" trails to ensure that the new infrastructure would see the maximum amount of use. Advanced trails and other amenities would be subject to further funding.
Provincial approvals are required for the work to begin, and may impact the start of construction on the project.
