From Spring Lake’s peaceful meadows to its abundance of birds that call the lake home, the Village of Spring Lake is a quaint, tranquil community nestled along the shorelines of Spring Lake, Alberta. Known for its natural beauty and the wonders that have been preserved and protected over many decades, it has been described as a Nature Lover’s Oasis.

It is the perfect place for enjoyment and relaxation for all ages. So when you hear the call of the loons, take a moment to sit back and enjoy it and all that Spring Lake has to offer.

Yellowhead Regional Library - YRL 2023 Annual Report

As a valued partner and/or member of Yellowhead Regional Library (YRL), I am happy to share the YRL 2023 Annual Report.

For YRL member municipalities and school divisions, we know the return on your investment with us is critical. The Annual Report demonstrates several key indicators of our value to your residents and students.

The power of regional collaboration opens a world of resources to every person living in the YRL region. The power of our collective purchasing and distribution delivers a catalog of materials beyond what any individual library could maintain on its own. And, the power of our continuous improvement brings the latest technology and best practices to each member library and the patrons they serve. I hope you find the Annual Report informative and reflective of a remarkable year.

We would be happy to speak to your Council and/or Library Board about YRL services, governance, and our 2023-2025 Strategic Plan. To schedule a presentation, please contact Laurie, Executive Assistant, at lhaak@yrl.ab.ca or 780-962-2003, ext. 221.

Thank you for your continued support of YRL and library services.

Hendrik (Hank) Smit, Board Chair

Visit Parkland County - Free FireSmart Home Assessments for more information!

County residents can get a free FireSmart Home Assessment to learn how to protect their homes from wildfires.
Each assessment takes about 45 minutes, and it's important that you're there too. 

Our FireSmart experts will:
1.     Tour the outside of your house and yard for things that increase your risk during a wildfire.
2.     Provide a customized report based on what they see with actions on how to reduce the risk of damage
        by wildfire.
3.     Share helpful tips to make your home less susceptible to wildfires.

If you've completed the suggested safety improvements in the report, you can ask for another assessment later if you wish.

Speed Limit in Spring Lake

The Village of Spring Lake has installed two new radar signs, bringing our total of signs up to four within the Village. Spring Lake uses them to keep track of the Municipality’s traffic statistics and reports them to Council at our Regular Council Meetings. Reports are also shared with Parkland County Enforcement Services.

The speed limit in Spring Lake is 30 KM/H within Municipal limits, with the exception of Range Road 20, where the speed limit is 50 KM/H.

Thank you,
Village of Spring Lake
