‘Heart of Lacombe’ wins Community Planning Association of Alberta award

May 10, 2023 | 10:48 AM

The ‘Heart of Lacombe’ project has won a Community Planning Association of Alberta community achievement award.

The award recognizes, celebrates, and shares the success and hard work of an individual, team, or organization whose creative ideas and work have positively contributed to community building and well-being anywhere in Alberta.

The Heart of Lacombe, which has become a year-round social media-shareable site, is a signature landmark in downtown Lacombe created with the Downtown Area Redevelopment Plan (DARP) Committee.

“The Heart of Lacombe has fast become the symbol of our downtown core,” Deputy Mayor Thalia Hibbs said. “This project is a collaborative effort that has created a brand all our residents can be proud of. This award shows what is possible when our community works together.”

The landmark also illuminates in the dark, and prompted new wayfinding signage in the downtown core which utilizes ‘Heart of Lacombe’ branding.
