Sport fish in the lake include northern pike, yellow perch, and lake whitefish. There are a unique mix of land uses in the lake watershed, which include undisturbed bush and forest, agriculture, two coal mines with active and reclaimed areas, three coal-fired power plants, major transportation (road and rail) corridors, residences, and recreation. The mines supply fuel for the power plants, operated by the TransAlta Utilities Corporation (TAU). Industrial wastewaters, runoff and cooling water from the Whitewood mine and Wabamun power plant are discharged to the lake. Over time, TAU operations associated with the mines and power plants in the watershed have caused cumulative and ongoing impacts on the lake level.

We have representation from Hardisty, Forestburg, Lougheed, Heisler, Killam, Daysland, Sedgewick, Alliance, and Flagstaff County. In 2015, our Board met a challenge with the decision to consolidate our lodge operations to Big Knife Lodge in Forestburg, and to decommission Flagstaff Lodge in Sedgewick. As with all changes, there are always bumps in the road. The decision to close Flagstaff Lodge was not an easy one and came after much assessment, discussions, and deliberations with residents. It was not a decision made in isolation. It is one that we believe will ensure the lodge program will continue to be responsive to the seniors in the county while operating efficiently and effectively. Funding for an expansion to Big Knife Villa was announced in December 2013 and we broke ground in 2015. The project will give us an additional 20 units to the existing lodge. As you will see later in this report, construction is well underway and we hope to move residents into the new rooms by December 2016.
