Cold Lake, AB – The final deadline for Cold Lake Marina users to confirm their berth rentals for the 2019 boating season is fast approaching.
Staff have been contacting marina users but, to date, 48 users have not renewed their slip rental agreement. Last year, a grace period extending from April 1 to 15 was implemented to accommodate some users who found the hard April 1 deadline difficult to achieve.
Marina users who submit After April 1 but before April 15 can renew their agreement for a 15 per cent surcharge. After April 15, berths will be assigned to people on the waiting list, which currently sits at about 190 people. The public should note that Cold Lake Marina berths do not transfer with the sale of a boat, nor can they be transferred to a family member or friend.
Also, subleasing a berth must be coordinated through the City of Cold Lake with the revenue to be split between the marina user and the city. Throughout the 2019 season, staff will be monitoring to ensure that only the proper boats are being kept at the marina.
Cold Lake, AB – Cold Lake City Council voted to apply to have its voice heard at an upcoming Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) hearing for Imperial’s planned Cold Lake Expansion Project.
“There’s a growing sense of helplessness in the community,” Mayor Craig Copeland said. “Here we have a project that has been jumping through regulatory approvals since 2016. We had heard it was finally approved, and now another hearing is announced. There are lots of people in Cold Lake who want to get back to work, but the regulatory process seems endless. It’s time for all levels of government to take meaningful action if we want our energy sector to recover.”
Early this month, AER published a notice of hearing for the Cold Lake Expansion Project, which is located about 23 kilometres northwest of the City of Cold Lake. Initial application for the project was filed on March 10, 2016 and was approved on August 14, 2018. The Elizabeth Métis Settlement requested a regulatory appeal on September 12, 2018.
The request for appeal was granted on December 20, 2018.
Cold Lake, AB – Film crews will be shooting at various locations throughout Cold Lake for an upcoming feature film, causing occasional road closures and temporarily closures at various locations – both public and private – over the course of their project.
The City of Cold Lake is working with the film’s producers to ensure that they can film their project efficiently and safely in the appropriate locations. We apologize for any inconveniences that the temporary closures may cause and ask the public to respect the crews’ work. Any closures of public space or facilities expected to have a significant impact on the public will be advertised on the city’s website and social media channels, and in print media if time allows.
There is an opportunity for the public to participate as extras. Arrangements can be made by those interested by contacting the associate producer, filmmaker, Tyler Duffy at: MomentsExtrasCasting@gmail.com
Cold Lake, AB – The first spring sweep is here!
Residents may have noticed sweepers already cleaning up Highway 28, getting an early run in before residential sweeping takes over.
“That first sweep is pretty important, and right now we’re a bit earlier than compared to last year,” said Mayor Craig Copeland. “So long as the weather holds out, crews should be able to get to work on residential sweeping over the next few weeks.”
Crews will be following a schedule that eventually covers all the neighbourhoods in Cold Lake. Residents can find out when sweeping will occur in their area by visiting www.coldlake.com, or checking the city’s Facebook page. Any updates due to changes in the weather will also be posted. To help get a clean sweep in, residents are encouraged to move any vehicles on their street prior to the sweeper coming.
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.
