Camrosians can now take advantage of local bodies of water, including Mirror Lake with non-motorized recreation such as kayaks and canoes.

Camrose council approved a policy that will allow non-motorized recreation such as kayaks, paddle boats, canoes, and small (under 12 feet) paddle boats on local water bodies. They are not allowing inflatables or sailboats.

Remember to wear life jackets and be respectful of wildlife!

This announcement comes at the most perfect time as residents still look to practice social-distancing while getting out and enjoying the fresh air and beautiful weather!

Our Summer To-Do List 2019

It is starting to feel like Summer! And with the beautiful Alberta weather and green grass and gorgeous flowers, come all the FUN, Summer activities! Our little family typically does day-long road trips as it best suits our family budget and scheduling. Travelling and seeing new (and familiar!) parts of Alberta has kinda become our Summer-thing. I love the idea of spending the whole day exploring and having fun but still being close enough to come home and go to sleep in our own beds (especially with a new baby...sleep is a coveted luxury!)

Summer 2019 will be filled with tons of fun, great food, and lots of memories! We are looking forward to crossing off some of our annual favourites, as well as some new adventures! Check out what made our Summer Bucket-List:

~ Visit Mirror Lake, take the train and get an ice cream (One of many attractions in our little city!)

~ Lots and lots of beach and lake days: All winter long I have been longing for days like this one. I am so excited to visit our favourite spot - Pelican Point and try out new and different lakes and beaches this summer that are within a days drive to us!

~ Spend a day at Leduc in the Alexandra Outdoor Pool and Spray Park and finish the day off with some Tutti Frutti yogurt (of course!). This is one of our most favorite day trips each summer!

~ Spend a day at the Blackfalds Outdoor Pool. I have heard raving reviews about the outdoor pool in Blackfalds (it even has a little beach area!). I think this is the perfect addition to our summer to-do list and am looking forward to checking it out!

~ Explore a new spray park. Our local swimming pool & spray park is currently under renovation and so we will need to travel in order to take advantage of the fun a spray park can bring. I would love to check out the spray parks in either Tofield or Ardrossan. We would make it a full-day adventure by packing a picnic lunch!

~ Visit as many playgrounds in our town as possible! Our local community has been updating & renovating all of our local playgrounds (as necessary). This summer, we want to pack a picnic lunch and spend a day playing + exploring all the “new-to-us” parks in our area!

Would-Be-Nice Summer List:

~ Edmonton Valley Zoo ~ Forestburg Outdoor Pool ~ Drumheller ~ Calaway Park/Calgary Zoo ~ Complete as many things off of the Camrose Summer Activities: 100 things to see and do list as we can!~
