Brightening the Path – Jessie Lake Trail lights installed

The Town of Bonnyville is thrilled to announce the completion of the Jessie Lake Trail Lighting project.

“We’re excited to see our vision of a well-lit Jessie Lake Trail come to life”, expressed Mayor Elisa Brosseau.  “This is a significant step in our community recreation plan, has been a long-term goal for the Town, and will allow residents to enjoy its beauty at any hour.”

The newly installed lights, centred around the Jessie Lake Recreation plan, promote safety and encourage a wide range of outdoor activities. This project has been a top Wellness priority for the Town Council. 

The comprehensive lighting project unfolded in three phases spanning two years. In the initial phase, the stretch from 66 St. to Gurneyville Road was successfully illuminated last year. This year’s efforts focused on lighting the section from Gurneyville Road to 38 St., encompassing additional lighting installations at key points such as the recreation area and toboggan hill at Pontiac Park, and the Outdoor Fitness area. The total investment for this transformative initiative amounted to approximately $1 million.

The project signifies the Town’s dedication to fostering an active, vibrant community and aligns with the broader vision of creating spaces that promote a healthy and engaged lifestyle.

Residents are invited to explore the Jessie Lake Trail and experience the enhanced ambiance created by the new lighting. The completion of this project is a testament to the Town of Bonnyville’s commitment to improving community infrastructure and promoting an active lifestyle for all.
