development of Parkland and the environ-
ment since we built industrial areas in close
proximity to this natural area whilst keeping
it well protected.”
THE PARKLAND FUTURE
Currently Parkland is in the process of con-
structing a new fire hall. This project came
into existence because of the realization that
the area lacked enough fire halls especially
since Parkland was experiencing growth. The
fire hall will also be a central training facility
for over 150 volunteer firefighters currently
providing service to Parkland County. The
training facility will provide for both simu-
lated and computer based training for paid
on call staff or volunteer fire fighters.
Parkland County has other ventures in
place, including the Intelligent Community
Project, an initiative being carried out by
Parkland to increase the connectivity of ru-
ral communities and businesses by providing
them access to reliable, reasonably-priced,
high speed internet. Rob says, “Businesses
are moving into our area as they realize our
potential. We have a good supply of develop-
able land available and we are always look-
ing to try new and innovative techniques to
improve our services to our residential and
business communities. Parkland County is
looking to the future.”
