Welcome to City of Cold Lake

Cold Lake, AB – Residents and contractors are now only one click away from finding underground utility lines.

The City of Cold Lake is now a member of Alberta One-Call, which is a private, non-profit corporation that provides communication between people or contractors who intend on disturbing the ground, and the utility operators that register their buried facilities.

“This is a great step toward safety for residents of Cold Lake,” said Mayor Craig Copeland. “Joining Alberta One-Call means we’re matching the industry standard for utility locating, and it streamlines the process in getting someone out there to mark the utilities.”

Previously residents and contractors would make multiple calls to different organizations for line locates, including the City of Cold Lake, which looks after water, sanitary sewer, and storm water lines. The city also looks after some underground electrical lines associated with traffic signalization and city-owned street lighting. Through Alberta One-Call, all affected organizations will be contacted on behalf of the resident and contractors. After placing the request, Alberta One-Call will contact the city to send someone out to mark where any buried utilities are located.

Cold Lake, AB – The Alberta 55 plus Winter Games are coming to Cold Lake in 2019 and the city is looking for people who can help make the games a success for all involved.

“We’re very excited to host the Alberta 55 plus Winter Games,” said Mayor Craig Copeland. “With up to 1,500 participants, it’s a great way to showcase the community and give back to Alberta’s seniors.”

The games are hosted on a pay-to-play format, with athletes providing for their own entrance fees, transportation, and accommodations. The format allows for the games to be hosted without the large cash contribution that is often needed for similar events.

The games are typically held over three days, with two days of competition. As host, the City of Cold Lake has been asked to contribute by helping to provide the needed facilities, volunteers, coordinating opening and closing ceremonies, and hosting a banquet for the participants.

“What we really need now are volunteers to come forward,” said Copeland. “If anyone is interested in helping out, no matter the task or their experience level, we want to start making a list of people we can contact. We want to establish an organizing committee as soon as possible.”
