Cold Lake, AB – The City of Cold Lake is nearing completion on a challenging roadway reconstruction project.
The stretch of the 53 Avenue roadway between 57A Street and 58 Street in Cold Lake South has been under construction for some time due to complex soil conditions and a high water table. The deep utility infrastructure also required an overhaul and the underground conditions which led to the roadway’s failure made replacement of the deep utilities challenging.
With the underground utility work now complete, local contractor E-Construction has won a $425,000 contract to complete the restoration of the roadway.

Cold Lake, AB – Cooking fires continue to be the leading cause of home fires in Alberta and most are preventable. Fire Prevention Week is October 4-10, 2020 and the City of Cold Lake and Cold Lake Fire-Rescue are urging residents to take simple steps to prevent fires in the kitchen.
“Often when we’re called to a fire that started in the kitchen, the residents tell us they only left the room for a few minutes. That’s all the time it takes for a dangerous fire to start,” says Chief Jeff Fallow with Cold Lake Fire-Rescue. “Cooking happens in kitchens across the Lakeland every single day and it has to be done responsibly. Being responsible means never leaving any cooking unattended on the stove.”
Other ways to ensure fire safety in the kitchen include:

Cold Lake, AB – A pilot project to test a new method of dredging will start immediately after the Cold Lake Marina is closed for the 2020 boating season.
The last full day of Marina operations will be October 11. All boaters are expected to have their boats out of the marina by the end of the day October 12 so that preparations for the dredging operation can begin the next day. Council approved the $50,000 pilot project to test a method of dredging that is expected to result in significant cost savings.
“These are not simple projects because of the environmental regulations and approvals required,” Chief Administrative Officer, Kevin Nagoya, said. “Traditional methods of dredging would cost about $1 million to complete the marina.”
