Cold Lake is wildly screen-heavy for a small prairie garrison town — a Film and Screenwriter tilt mostly reflecting Canadian actors and writers born on the base before moving south to Toronto and Vancouver production. The Hockey bench is the expected Alberta story, but the Novelist and Artist counts are the surprise: a small but real creative diaspora out of a Royal Canadian Air Force town.
