inherent thermal energy. In other words,
when the HVAC system is working hard to
keep the ice rinks cool, for instance, the
heat that is generated from those cooling
systems is then recovered and used to
heat the space, domestic hot water, and
the pool. There is a lot of efficiency and
interplay in the system, and considerable
green house gas emission and cost sav-
ings.
The NexSource Centre is a key compo-
nent to a wider development plan for the
town, which includes renovations of Lake-
shore Drive, and expanding the business
community. No longer a bedroom commu-
nity, future development opportunities are
underway, with newly available industrial
land for big growth in the oil and gas sec-
tor. Developers are looking to the commu-
nity to be home to future development to
house new residents and put up industrial,
commercial and retail space. Since 2011
alone, over 500 new businesses have set
up shop in Sylvan Lake.
The NexSource Centre is a symbol of Syl-
van Lake’s growth, but more importantly
its commitment to fostering community
spirt and pride, and letting newcomers
know that the town has the amenities to
support full-time residents. As Mayor Mc-
Intyre puts it, “If you haven’t been to Syl-
van Lake lately, you haven’t been to Sylvan
Lake.”
