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.”
Due to circumstances beyond our control, the City of Cold lake has had to cancel the Snow Fever Kick Off concert, scheduled for Friday February 15, 2019. The City appreciates working with the performers and their dedication to this event and looks forward to the possibility of working with them in the future.
Full refunds will be given to all ticket purchasers. Ticket purchasers will be contacted, or can call 780-639-6400 or email energycentre@coldlake.com for more information.
The City of Cold Lake regrets any inconvenience this cancellation may have caused.
Cold Lake, AB – The Energy Centre expansion continues to impress as new amenities officially open this weekend.
This weekend the rock wall will officially open to the public, during a special community celebration at the Energy Centre.
The most recent addition in the Energy Centre is the Booster Juice, which had a soft opening mid-December and has been running daily since then. The new business helps to round out the food services offered in the complex, alongside the Game Day Grill concession upstairs, which opened in 2017.
The Phase 3 Expansion will be on display for the public to enjoy this Saturday, January 26 from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm. The grand opening event will include:
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.”

Cold Lake, AB – The City of Cold Lake will be extending the Business Retention and Attraction Incentive Program (BRAIP) for another year.
“We have been receiving a few applications for the program, and decided we wanted to see this continue to help revitalize the downtown area and other commercial businesses,” said Mayor Craig Copeland. “Council originally passed this policy to support our business community, and we want to make sure that owners who can take advantage of this are aware of what is available.”
The policy was developed in 2010, and since then, council and the Economic Development Advisory Committee has pushed to ensure businesses are reminded of the BRAIP policy. It was originally set to last for two years, but council has opted to continue extending it, as businesses continue to make use of it.
The program grants rebates based on commercial property taxes. In the case of new commercial construction, the rebate is paid out over three years and is equal to one year’s worth of the increase in municipal property taxes resulting from the construction. The program also includes projects that are primarily cosmetic in nature, as they would not necessarily result in an increase in assessment and municipal taxes paid. Such projects are eligible to receive a one-time grant equal to 10 per cent of the municipal property taxes levied in the year the project is completed.
