Cold Lake, AB – After nearly a year of research and debate, Cold Lake City Council passed a Mobile Vending Policy to regulate the operation of mobile vendors in the City of Cold Lake.
“We wanted to strike a balance between regulating the business, and having no restrictions on mobile vendors,” Mayor Craig Copeland said. “We allowed for plenty of time for staff to do research, for vendors to tell us about their concerns, and for council to debate the policy. In the end, we reached a balanced policy that takes everyone’s views into account.”
The policy outlines the criteria required for mobile vendors to operate on public lands, outlines the fee schedule for various types of mobile vending permits, establishes a need for mobile food vendors to have a safety codes inspection, and establishes a 50-metre setback for a mobile vendor from a business that sells a similar product or service.
The 50-metre setback can be eliminated through an agreement with the existing business.

Cold Lake, AB – The City of Cold Lake will be hosting an open house so that the Organizing Committee for the Alberta 55 plus Winter Games can be established.
“We have had a tremendous reaction from the community so far for volunteers who have expressed interest,” said Mayor Craig Copeland. “Now it’s time for an organizing committee to take shape so that they can begin to meet and take on the work of planning the games.”
The open house will take place at the Lakeland Inn on April 11 from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
The open house will be geared towards volunteers interested in helping organize the event. Those interested in being “front line” volunteers, and who do not wish to join the organizing committee, are welcome to attend and gather information about the games and the various positions required. People who are unable to attend the April 11 open house, but who still want to join the organizing committee are encouraged to contact the City of Cold Lake at city@coldlake.com or 780-594-7926, so that their interest in a specific position can be considered as the committee takes shape.
The positions include: Chairperson, Transportation Director, Entertainment Director, Venues Director, Volunteer Director, Finance Director, Food Director, Publicity and Marketing Director; Games and Activities Director; and individual coordinators for each of the sports and activities.
Coordinators will be needed to help organize the following sports and activities: alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, badminton, pickleball, bowling (five pin), bridge – duplicate, carpet bowling, darts, euchre, ice hockey, ice curling, pool (snooker), scrabble, floor shuffleboard, as well as arts and crafts, creative writing, and photography.
