Starting May 1, 2022, visitors of Sandy Point Beach, Sandy Point Boat Launch, and Sunbreaker Cove Boat Launch will be required to pay for parking. Lacombe County is launching a quick and easy payment system for parking through HotSpot Parking Inc.

"We understand some of our residents were concerned with the paid parking program. Council reviewed the plan and, except for adding an annual pass option for frequent users, they continue to feel it is the right direction to move in,” said Tim Timmons, County Manager for Lacombe County. “The additional user fees will help to ensure the operating and capital expenses of these amenities are more sustainable. With the increasing amount of people accessing the lake via the beach and boat launches, the paid parking program will assist with the maintenance and upkeep of these facilities, while providing funds for future needs.”

Lacombe County is excited to announce the return of the Spring Tune Up: Health and Safety Fair on April 1, 2022, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Lacombe Memorial Centre. Anyone interested in their health and farm safety is invited to attend this free event, which will feature a variety of health care and safety professionals.

“We like to focus on safety and health BEFORE farmers get into their fields for the season, to remind them of the importance of caring for the physical, emotional and mental health,” explained Jalene Makus, Lacombe County Agriculture Coordinator and event organizer. “By bringing in vendors that support physical and mental health/safety, we are doing our part to support this important initiative and connect attendees with relevant and useful information.”
