Cold Lake News

RCMP are looking for a 2012 White GMC Sierra with the Alberta licence plate CFC 7491. Police urge the public not to approach the vehicle or interact with occupants, but to call the police immediately.

On Friday, Cold Lake EMS, RCMP and firefighters responded to two single-vehicle rollovers south of the City of Cold Lake just an hour apart.

“I don’t want anything to happen to anybody. It’s very bad. We lost some band members. It’s preventable if we all do our part and get our vaccination,” said the chief. 

Cold Lake announces service interruptions at hospital, MLA David Hanson 'frustrated' with the situation and AHS.

Since Nov. 21, three NLPS schools have experienced AHS confirmed outbreaks – a provincial program has been sending rapid testing kits home with students from kindergarten to Grade 6, and staff – in order to monitor for potential COVID-19 transmission.

The Cold Lake Aeros are dominating the WSHL Provincial Division standings with a regular season record of 14 wins and one loss.

On Sunday evening, a man entered a business on 52 St. and Highway 28 (55 St.) with what a witness believed to be a pistol and demanded money.

Service disruptions continue at the Cold Lake, Elk Point and St. Paul hospitals, due to staffing issues. This week, AHS reported the surgical department in Cold Lake would be affected for six weeks, while there is also a possibility the Cold Lake emergency department experiences some disruptions over the next few weeks.

On Tuesday, the Cold Lake’s public works department was recognized by CPWA as the winners of the National Public Works Week Contest for programming that engages and informs residents of the services the department provides to the city.

‘The only benefit is for (the employer) of your business. But if those people wanted to go to a restaurant or a movie theatre, they'd still have to go find a private rapid testing clinic to get those results,’ says Cold Lake’s Chamber executive director.
