The purpose of Cold Lake Bully Free is to raise awareness about the serious impact bullying has on individuals, groups and the community, and to explore and share solutions on how bullying can be prevented.

The Bully Free Committee meets monthly to develop programs and events to increase awareness of bullying. It evolved from a task force, formed in 2007 by the City of Cold Lake. The committee includes local agencies and interested citizens who strive to provide opportunities for community groups, recreation and hobby clubs, sport and dance camps, workplaces and the public to learn about prevention skills. If you are interested in having a presentation tailored for your group or joining the committee, please contact FCSS at 780-594-4495.
