Courtesy of the Town of Rainbow Lake:
May 26 2023 – Not much of an update as we are moving into cleanup mode. The final sprinklers will be coming down today and Atco is continuing to push to get the power restored. The fire activity picked up yesterday in the West end. With continued high temperatures and little to no rain, this is expected to remain active throughout the day. When we are able to proceed with re-entry, please ensure you are not travelling to any areas outside of the Town as the tree’s have been damaged and are coming down regularly. This is in addition to the still active fire.
As of today, our timelines for re-entry on June 2nd remain in place. If that changes we will update you as we get new information.
If you are a business owner/manager of a business in Rainbow Lake and would like to come in and inspect your facilities for insurance purposes please contact Dan Fletcher at dfletcher@rainbowlake.ca.
For those of you in the High Level area, Elections Alberta has setup a mobile voting station for evacuees. This will be available Friday May 26th at the Town of High Level Council Chambers located at 10203 105 ave, High Level, AB, T0H 1Z0 (across the street from our reception centre in the Curling Rink). This will be available from 9am to 3pm. For those residents that are not staying in the High Level area, you can participate in advance voting stations anywhere in Alberta.
If you do have any questions, please feel free to send them to dfletcher@rainbowlake.ca and we will try to address them in our next update.
Thank you and stay safe.
