"You're going where??"

Cold Lake was first recorded on a map in 1790, by the name of Coldwater Lake.

The town of Cold Lake became a city in 2000.

Population 13,924.

82% of that population is Christian.

The Conservative party always wins majority provincially and nationally.

294km northeast of Edmonton. 170km north of Lloydminster.

The city's economy is inextricably linked to military spending at CFB Cold Lake. Every year Cold Lake hosts military forces from around the world for Exercise Maple Flag, a training exercise where pilots and support staff of NATO allies can take advantage of the Air Weapons Range and relatively open rural air space.

Kinosoo Beach is a favorite destination during the hot summer months between June and August.

Temperatures average 23 degrees in the summer and -21 in the winter.

Sounds exciting, right? It better. It's where I'm going to be spending the next 3 years of my life. Adventures await! Pending that Trent passes his psych evaluation to make sure he'll be able to handle a posting to a semi-remote base... Why don't they think it's important to psych eval the wife? I feel like I'm the one that's going to feel semi-remote... Hopefully I'll have more information soon!
