The City of Camrose remains in Stage 2 of our Water Shortage Response Plan, and mandatory water restrictions for households are still in effect. We continue to ask that businesses make every effort possible to be mindful of and reduce water usage. You can find a breakdown of our current water situation, including water levels and the lack of water flow, here: https://www.camrose.ca/en/living-here/resources/Documents/Current-Water-Situation.pdf.


We all have a role to play in conserving water now, before it becomes critical. Small actions today can make a big difference in preserving our water! Find out more information about the Water Shortage Response Plan at www.camrose.ca/WaterShortage.

Camrose has launched the printed café and bakery passport this summer!

The goal is to entice locals and visitors to try out all the cafes and bakeries in the Camrose area. This interactive guide offers a brief description and story about the locations, recommendations, and space to journal your experience as a great way to look back fondly on your visit. Passport-goers can share their overall ratings and comments in a survey for a chance to win gift cards to these cafes and bakeries.


Passports are available at participating cafes, City Hall, and the Visitor Information Center.


Contact Maven if you would like to host some passports at your business.
