WELCOME TO THE LAKE LIFE
From gritty mud to gleaming chrome, we have every kind of event for petrol heads, (Page 23). We update our event calendar at bit.ly/MDBvilleEventCalendar regularly. You can find more events and up-to-date information every week.
Prefer a slower day steeped in local lore? Take in one of our museums — Bonnyville & District Museum (Page 62) or Cold Lake Museums (Page 63) and learn about our region’s history from our Indigenous and pioneer roots to the impact of the oil and gas industry and Canadian Armed Forces.
Aviation buff? Touch down in July when CFB Cold Lake hosts its biannual Cold Lake Air Show (Page 64). It’s a jaw dropping display of air power!
If “learning to ski” or “conquering a 60-foot-tall obstacle course” is on your bucket list, make tracks to Kinosoo Ridge Resort (Page 74). Summer or winter, there’s an adventure waiting for you!
Whether you’re relaxing lakeside with your latest beach read, exploring the region on an ATV, hooking your next big fish, or spinning tales around a campfire, we invite you to come spend a weekend, a week, or your whole summer in the M.D. of Bonnyville.
With so many amazing M.D. Parks spread across the municipality, it can be hard to choose where to stay. We’ve taken some of the guess work out of it for you.
