Summer Village of Ghost Lake – Annexation

The Summer Village of Ghost Lake has applied to annex approximately 42.4 ha of land (about 104.7 acres) from the Municipal District of Bighorn No.8 (MD of Bighorn). The Annexation Map can be found HERE and the Annexation Application can be found HERE.

The Land and Property Rights Tribunal (LPRT) completed the public hearing respecting the application by the Village to annex land from the MD of Bighorn on August 6, 2025. We now await their decision.

Noxious Weeds

Did you know that Alberta has a Weed Control Act that requires all landowners to control and/or destroy prohibited noxious weeds and noxious weeds (invasive plant species) on their properties?  While there are no noted prohibited noxious weeds in the Village there are a number of noxious weeds that can be found in the Village.  The most prominent are:
The most effective way to control and destroy these weeds is by hand pulling them, bagging them and disposing of them in the garbage.  They should not be put in the yard waste bin.
HERE is a document that was put together by Claire Heune, Co-Chair of the NELS Committee, to help you identify these plants so you can remove them from your property.  While these 5 are the most common, others do exist and you are encouraged to visit Provincially regulated weeds | Alberta.ca to see the full list of Prohibited Noxious Weeds and Noxious Weeds in Alberta.
