Here's a little Northern Hospitality

Just yesterday, US Consul General for Alberta, Saskatchewan, BC and Northwest Territories, Laura Lochman was up in the Lakeland to check out our Oilsands Operations and what else the area had to offer. She was hosted during her tour by MLA Genia Leskiw and other local dignitaries. She stopped for lunch at Clark's on lake shore drive in Cold Lake North.  Pictured left is Genia, Ms Lochman, far right - Craig Copeland - Mayor of Cold Lake and Daniel Fennel from the US Consul office in Calgary.

There was even time for a quick trip on the lake with Cap'n Dan's Charter boat as seen below.

Welcome to the Lakeland. We hope your trip was enjoyable. Now please go back and tell your people that its not dirty oil.
