County-run programs and services,

Discover
Lac La Biche
County
Lac La Biche County is famous
for its many lakes, most notably
Lac La Biche Lake, which is a
French translation of a Cree
phrase meaning “Lake of the
Elk.” In addition to lakes, rivers
and streams, the County’s
landscape features forests,
farmland, muskeg, and dozens
of recreation areas and trails.
Lac La Biche County would
like to thank the people of
our region for their strong
humanitarian support during
the Fort McMurray area
evacuations earlier this year.
Hundreds of local residents and
community groups donated and
volunteered to make evacuees
feel welcome and comfortable.
The County, in partnership with
Big Dog 103.5 FM and the Lac
La Biche Post, is holding two
“County Proud” community
appreciation events to thank
people for their goodwill with a
free meal and entertainment.
The first event will be on
September 16 at Plamondon’s
Festival Centre. The second will
be at the Bold Center in Lac La
Biche on September 23. Both
events will run from 5-8 p.m.

FAQS
How are swimmers evaluated?
Students are evaluated during each
class of the session. To complete a
level, the swimmer must be able to
demonstrate the skills in that level
3 times. Because swimmers develop
differently, it’s normal for participants
to repeat levels.
My child was asked to repeat a
level they already completed.
What can I do?
Bring your child to the pool to practice.
Children who do not spend time in the
pool outside of class will rarely be able
to advance to the next level.
What should I do if my child is
sick or will miss a class?
If you know your child will miss several
lessons, please let the instructor know.
Missing more than one lesson may
impact your child’s ability to complete
the level.
