The Manifestation Process
Let’s dispel the myth that manifestation is something miraculous that’s “out of this world”. Manifestation is simply the act of aligning yourself with your desired intentions and goals and then taking the necessary steps to bring those desired intentions and goals into fruition.

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.

Cold Lake, AB – The City of Cold Lake is coming to a podcast near you.
“Casting in Cold Lake” will be a podcast featuring elected officials and administration from the city talking about current events, issues, and answering popular questions.
“Apparently we talk a lot,” joked Mayor Craig Copeland. “We definitely have a lot to say, so when the proposal of hosting our own podcast came up, council jumped at the opportunity.”
The initial episodes will feature the mayor, along with Chief Administrative Officer Kevin Nagoya. Future episodes are expected to have other members of council as well as special guests from various departments in the city, community groups, or from nearby municipalities.
“This will be a great way to reach the public and discuss topics that matter to them, without the time constraints that come with other forums,” Copeland said. “Once it is up and running we hope to be able to respond more directly to the public’s questions. This will allow us to discuss topics in depth in an informal setting, where we are not pressured by a hard-and-fast timeline.”
The first episode was recorded several weeks ago and covers several general topics including municipal taxes, the state of the local economy and how federal and provincial regulations impact the local economy. Our expectation is that future episodes will be recorded and released within a 24 to 48 hour period, allowing the show to be able to respond to timely issues and promote current events.
