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.

INTEGRATED COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY PLAN OVERVIEW

The ICSP is a long-range plan that consists of five dimensions – environmental, governance, economic, social, and recreational/cultural – to be developed through public consultation and will provide direction to their Multi-Year Capital Infrastructure Plan.

The five dimensions of a Sustainable Community are:

• Environment – Preserving quality and natural built environments that minimize the negative impacts of development.

• Governance –Ensuring transparent, collaborative, and inclusive decision-making in which representation and leadership are accountable to the community.

• Economy – Creating a flourishing and diverse local economy through decisions that create conditions conducive to economic development and communities in which people want to live and do business.

• Social – Allowing the growth of communities that promote stability, diversity, and a high quality of life for all.

• Recreational/Culture – Celebrating vibrant and festive communities for the expression and enhancement of a distinct identity and strong sense of place.

This report is an updated version of the ICSP that was first developed in 2009 and provides a summary of what the community’s vision for Village of Spring Lake is in the future, how we will achieve this vision, and how we will ensure its sustainability.
