Village Entrance

One of the wooden uprights at the entrance to the Village was hit by a vehicle, causing damage which for safety reasons, required the removal of the entrance gateway. We do not know who hit the post, as they did not stay on site and/or report the damage.  There will be discussion at Council in 2026 about what a replacement entrance will look like as we have an opportunity to design something that could deter people looking for the public access to Ghost Lake from coming into the Village.  If you have any ideas, please share them with Administration and/or Council.

Potential Ghost Reservoir Infrastructure Project / Revised Dam

The Government of Alberta’s proposed Ghost Reservoir Infrastructure Project includes the construction of a new dam structure downstream of the existing structure. This will allow for an increased capacity within the reservoir. The design of the new dam would also focus on the considerations for flood and drought management.  The project is in Phase 3 and information on the project can be found HERE.

Council and Administration are working to ensure any impacts to the Village are identified during the consultation being conducted as part of Phase 3.

If you have any questions on the project, please email the Province directly at tec.ghostreservoir@gov.ab.ca.
