The economy of Cold Lake continues to draw strength from these varied roots, with the natural beauty of the region also fostering a growing tourism sector. The cultural character of Cold Lake is one of resilient pragmatism, a spirit forged by the distinct seasons and the close-knit nature of its residents.
