Regional Events Rain or shine, hot or cold, it seems like there is always something going on in the Lac la Biche Region! To beat the winter chills, visitors can take part in hay rides, fun ice fishing tournaments, cross country skiing in the afternoons, and community hockey games that take over rinks carved on Lac la Biche. There are several curling bonspiels and hockey tournaments for teams to register and compete in each year. With the warmer months, residents and visitors alike partake in several summer festivals in the region including various rodeos, traditional pow wows, cultural community celebrations, and more! The firework displays for Canada Day, the 53rd annual Lac La Biche Pow Wow Days during the August long weekend, and the annual Kikino Silver Birch Rodeo & Celebration Days in mid-August are always memorable. These bright displays are not only in the sky, but also reflected back onto the lake. If you’re looking to see traditional Aboriginal dancing, the Heart Lake and Beaver Lake Pow Wows are two events that proudly showcase the culture, talent, and artwork that go into the extravagant costumes. The annual rodeos in Lac La Biche, Kikino, and Buffalo Lake invite local and professional riders and ropers to compete, providing entertainment for all fans. Kikino also hosts its pony chariot and chuckwagon race the same weekend as their rodeo. And don’t forget you’re always welcome to get dirty at the Plamondon Mud Bog, where getting a little muddy is only a small part of all the activities going on there that weekend!

Welcome t our Nest The magnificent landscapes of the Lac la Biche Region create a prime habitat for a spectacular variety of birds, offering the best of bird watching opportunities. Designated a Bird Sanctuary in 1920 by the Government of Canada, Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park and its islands are home to over 190 species during high birding season. The shorelines of Lac la Biche have become a popular staging and nesting area for its various shorebirds, waterfowl, geese, swans, American White Pelicans, Doublecrested Cormorants, Herring Gulls, Ring-Billed Gulls, Great Blue Herons, Commons Terns, Black Terns, Foster’s Terns, Red-necked Grebes, and Eared Grebes. Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park is located on an island accessible via a 2.5 kilometre causeway and provides many lookout points, 7 kilometres of walking/biking trails throughout the Old Growth Forests on the island, and a viewing scope for birding. Pelicans and cormorants are visible on Pelican Island. The shoreline of Birch Island and Currant Island, a short distance from the north shore of the Big Island, are another popular gathering area for shorebirds.

Home to many neo-tropical migrants, these birds are most watchable in mating season showing off their vibrant plumage and voicing their numerous calls. Annual bird counts are held in May and December. You can join the counting in Lac La Biche and find out how many of the species you can see, hear, and name. For more information about the Lac La Biche Birding Society, find them on Facebook!
On calm summer mornings, bird watchers can rise with the sun and access by canoe the isolated Natural Areas of Black Fox Island and High (Shorty’s) Island, on the lake, which separate the west and the east arms of the lake.

Trails f Lakeland Provincial Park
Elk Point Bridge, Dobbs Lake Trail 28 | www.LaclaBicheRegion.com
Choose Your Trail Whether you are looking for a one-day hike or for a week long canoe voyage, the Lakeland Backcountry offers several unique outdoor experiences with guaranteed adventure and miles of pristine vistas to sooth your soul. Just make sure not to forget the essentials, as it’s only you and Mother Nature during your visit. With the only canoe circuit in Alberta, the 38 kilometre paddle through Jackson, Kinnard, Blackett, and McGuffin Lake is an exceptional experience. Whether you decide to conquer all the portages or paddle out to a remote island and camp for a few days, the lakes’ clear water allows you to float along while watching the fish swim below. Most days camping in this area start with the call of a loon and end with the flapping wings and splashing feet of a pod of pelicans landing on the water for a night’s rest.
The Lakeland Provincial Park boasts over 45 kilometres of trails for biking, hiking, and cross-country skiing. Shaw Lake has a looped trail circuit system so you can plan to extend or minimize your route throughout the day. If you’re looking for some motorized fun, the Lakeland Provincial Park Recreation Area has over 140 kilometres of shared trails for motorized ATVs and snowmobiles. Many of these trails have been upgraded so that ATV use does not degrade the trail and the landscape. By staying on the designated trails and practicing responsible operation of ATVs, you will help to ensure that Lakeland Provincial Park remains a great place to visit. Maps of Lakeland Provincial Park & Recreation Area are available at many local tourism offices to help plan your backcountry experience.

Located 2.5 hours northeast of Edmonton and 11 kilometres east of Lac La Biche on the road to the popular Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park, the breathtaking beauty of the challenging 18 hole Lac La Biche Golf & Country Club on the scenic shores of Lac la Biche makes for a perfect golfing vacation. Imagine sinking a three-inch tap-in for birdie on the sixth hole. The sun is reflecting off the rolling waves and lights your smile as you wonder what the next hole will bring. You’re having a great game and the surroundings make it even better.
The Lac La Biche Golf & Country Club features natural rolling terrain complete with scenic views of the lake.
Nestled along the southeastern shores of Lac la Biche, the public golf course offers 18 holes of challenge and picturesque beauty. It is one of northern Alberta’s most pristine golf courses: a true marriage of recreation and the environment.
After the round, shoot for the Pelican Grill, the 19th hole, located on the second level of the clubhouse. Here you can sit on the deck and recap your great day as you gaze out at one of the most spectacular vistas in Northern Alberta!
The front 9 is ideal for course newcomers, offering wide fairways and beautiful vistas. The back 9 poses a few more challenges with the rough squeezing both sides of most fairways, forcing accurate drives and approach shots.
Out-of-town golfers are encouraged to participate in the weekly men’s and women’s night activities. To book a tee time call the course or scan the QR-Code to access the mobile site. www.LaclaBicheRegion.com | 31

Rich Lake
Traditionally this area was settled by trappers and hunters, and later progressed to have logging and agricultural-based economy. To this day, being near the heart of Lakeland Provincial Park and several lakes in each direction the area is still Naturally Rich and a popular destination for hunting, trapping, fishing, and outdoor recreation. This tight knit community hosts annual rodeo events for local and professional cowboys and cowgirls of all ages. Each event is a great time, complete with family activities. For cultural explorers looking to find out more about the Rich Lake area’s history, the Rich Lake & District Pioneer Museum has much to discover. Showcasing the history of trapping and homesteading, a log cabin is dedicated to the early trappers of the area, complete with a set of snowshoes inside donated by Herbert Erickson that have been around the world with 2000 miles to spare. Other notable displays at the Pioneer Museum include the original first gas pump and Post Office from Rich Lake, the Parker family stove, salt rocks and a bear tooth. Some of these natural historical pieces date back to 150-200 million years ago with human artifacts dating back to the early 1900s. The museum is open May – September annually and welcomes all visitors to see the antiques, collectables, historical preservations, restorations, and dedication mural for the trappers and loggers painted by the late Alyson Cook and completed by Marylyn Evans. If you would like more details about the Rich Lake & District Pioneer Museum, please call 780-623-7756.

Hylo/Venice The first settlers of the Hylo/Venice area arrived from Edmonton in July of 1914. Bringing only a few tools and tents, and enough supplies and food to last three weeks, the Italian pioneers decided to stay in the area and registered their homesteads. In 2014, Hylo and Venice celebrated their centenary, with the Italian ancestry still prevailing in this rural Alberta area. To date, the area still hosts several community events. Every March there is a Quad Rally followed up in June with the Venice Picnic that offers a traditional homemade spaghetti supper. At the end of August is the Hylo-Venice Harvest Days that has a pig catch and the King and Queen of Harvest Days competition. With several active community groups, the area continues to celebrate their unique culture and share it with visitors!

Other popular events held at both first nations include the annual quad rallies where riders and drivers from across the province come to ride trails through the countryside. With plenty of pristine vistas and usually some good spots of mud, you may need and extra hand from other riders to pull you through!
The Aboriginal Artifacts collection is housed at the Portage College campus, established in 1968.

Our story showcases the journey of canoeing and camping in Lakeland Provincial Park, as well as the pristine surroundings in our region and the memories that can be shared.

Playing in a Winter Wonderland
There’s just as much fun to be had playing on our lakes in the winter as in the summer. Activities in our winter months take the chill out of the cold season’s air. For those who love to fish year-round, there are plenty of great spots to go ice fishing. A line, a few hooks, and some bait are all you need to have tight lines all day as you catch several keepers! For the land-lovers, there are plenty of snow-covered trails in Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park and Shaw Lake Cross-county ski area. They offer miles of natural beauty as you glide through the snow. If a little more speed is to your liking, then the lakes and backcountry of Lakeland Provincial Park & Recreation Area has snowmobile trails for every type of rider. The winter months also include several community events like curling bonspiels, hockey tournaments, the Carnaval d’Hiver with activities like Cabane à Sucre, the motor-revving Winter Festival of Speed, and the Lac La Biche Kinsmen On The Pond Hockey Tournament with eight rinks cleared on Lac la Biche.

Bright Nights in the Lac la Biche Region Unlike the bright nights in an urban centre, the bright nights of the Lac la Biche Region are fuelled naturally by solar storms. It may seem strange to promote things you can only see in the dark, but like thousands of others, once you’ve gazed up into a starry night sky above the Lac la Biche Region, you’ll see the light. If you can get past the fact this promotion is the exact opposite of one for a white sand beach in the middle of summer at the height of a sunny day, then our Northern Lights await you! The best time to see the Northern Lights is through the cooler months of November to April, so put away your bathing suit and leave your sunscreen at home and grab a parka for a winter visit to the Lac la Biche Region.
44 | www.LaclaBicheRegion.com
Lucky for you, one of the best places to see the dancing lights of fantastic colors is from the vantage point of one of our many lakes. If the Northern Lights aren’t dancing on the night you are looking for them, or you are visiting mid-summer, why not try to count shooting stars or satellites in the night sky or locate some of the constellations? Away from the city lights and other metropolitan distractions, the sky looks closer, the stars seem brighter, and it sure looks like there’s plenty more of them.
