OUR AREA
Two and a half to three hours northeast of Edmonton, sitting on the Saskatchewan border you will find the MD of Bonnyville, town of Bonnyville and City of Cold Lake.
There is a reason why we call it the Lakeland; the Bonnyville Cold Lake region has a number of lakes for any season enjoyment. Our lakes are great for fishing on, camping by, beaching it and skiing or sledding on.
If green is more your style, our area has four great golf clubs: Bonnyville Golf and Country, Cold Lake Golf and Winter, Grand Centre Golf and Country and the Ardmore Golf and Country Club
