Alberta government making major investments in rural communities

The Alberta government is making major investments in rural communities—and that includes the Lakeland region. MLA Scott Cyr says it reflects the province’s strong commitment to areas like Bonnyville, Cold Lake, and St. Paul. 

  • In Cold Lake, transition health beds are open and planning is underway for a new urgent care centre. 
  • In St. Paul, the ER just completed a $3.5 million renovation. 
  • Bonnyville’s Arts Centre, Glendon’s arena, and Elk Point’s arena are all receiving significant grants.
