The city-operated outdoor rinks, located in Nelson Heights and by Holy Cross Elementary, are now closed for the season. The warming weather has melted the ice, and with bare pavement patches beginning to show through, the rinks will be closed until they can be cleaned out.
The city thanks all outdoor enthusiasts who abided by the flagging system this year. A yellow flag indicates the rink is available to skate on at your own risk, and a red flag indicates that the rink is closed.
On Friday, January 25, 2019 Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (CNRL) announced that as of February, it would be shutting in its new ECHO pipeline, and all operations associated with it. This is due to a change in the curtailment formula from the Alberta Government, which would significantly limit the company’s production.
“While curtailment was requested by the oil industry, the latest proposed revisions are concerning,” said M.D. of Bonnyville Reeve Greg Sawchuk. “We want the Alberta government and Energy Minister Margaret McCuaig-Boyd to revisit the revisions based on the economic impact this will have on our communities, and to ensure the curtailment is applied equitably across the industry, instead of placing the emphasis on certain operations.”
In order to convince the Energy Minister to revisit the formula, Sawchuk, Town of Bonnyville Mayor Gene Sobolewski and City of Cold Lake Mayor Craig Copeland are urging residents to voice their concerns by writing letters to Premier Rachel Notley and McCuaig-Boyd to return to the previous curtailment formula.
“We all understood the guiding principle to curtailment was to increase the market value of WCS and to protect jobs in Alberta,” said Sobolewski. “In changing the curtailment formula for February, the government has now violated the principle of protecting jobs by devastating our region. I implore the Premier to intervene and leave the original formula unchanged.”

Cold Lake, AB – Changes have already begun to the Cold Lake Water Treatment Plant, in preparation for the Regional Utility Water Services line that will be bringing water from Cold Lake to the Town of Bonnyville.
The Water Treatment Plant upgrades are required to accommodate the treatment and distribution of additional water required to service the Town of Bonnyville, while still maintaining the level of service required for the City of Cold Lake.
Upgrades to the Water Treatment Plant include a new membrane train, new clear-well, new transfer pumps, new raw water pumps with pump room, new utility room, new standby generator with generator room, chlorine cylinder storage room expansion, intake screen upgrade, new electrical throughout the building, and HVAC upgrade.
In order to accommodate the additional features, the Water Treatment Plant building will be expanding on the north and south sides, as well as adding a second floor to incorporate new office space and a meeting room.
“When we realized the building needed to expand its footprint, we really wanted to make sure the design of the building would suit all the other enhancements along the lakeshore,” said Mayor Craig Copeland. “When the first design came in, it was a metal-clad box, so we sent that back to the table. There are a lot of residents in that area who will be staring at this building right next to the lake, so we wanted to make sure it didn’t become an eyesore.”
