“Slave Lake is committed to building opportunities by growing business, industry and population, while promoting ourselves and our exceptional quality of life.�
Message From the Mayor Winter has always been special time in the Warman household, whether it is going out and snowmobiling, ice fishing on Lesser Slave Lake, or playing a game of shinny on the new back-yard rink, we often find ourselves enjoying the great outdoors during the winter time. Another great community celebration happens in Slave Lake during the winter, Frost Fest. I keep saying every year that the Frost Fest celebrations we just had is the best. This year I think I’ll be saying the same thing, as we have another great line up of events for the 16th annual Frost Fest. We have great returning Frost Fest events that always draw the crowds, including the Family Carnival which is always a blast for kids of all ages, Movie Night at Rex Theatre, or Frolic in the Park at Schurter Park. And this year the community has rallied together to bring some amazing new programs to Frost Fest. The Library is hosting an escape room, head out to the Boreal Centre to snowshoe under the stars, try your hand in outdoor curling at Dog Island Brewery, or if you’ve forgotten Valentine’s Day grab your loved one and head on down to the MRC for Couples Dance Class. We have a week packed full of events for everyone! The weeklong celebration of Slave Lake begins February 8th and runs till February 17th. Be sure to get out and discover our great community and maybe try out a new event. I hope you get out to some great activities this year and celebrate Frost Fest 2020.
Mayor Tyler Warman
