Other Information
WHERE IS ANTON LAKE? According to Google Maps, Anton Lake is at the intersection of Highway 18 and Range Road 234 and the Natural Area is named for it. The site is part of the current government Protected Area data set (on which the above map is based). However, a search of the Westlock Landownership Map (November 2020) [1], indicates ownership in some form is held by “Paly I&C”, “Pax Natura Society” (northern portion of the Natural Area) and “Paschen G E & S” (southern portion).
PAX NATURA SOCIETY, formally organized as a society in July 1973, was an experimental project for rehabilitating the deaf. It was headed by Pastor Bauer of the Cross of Christ Lutheran Church, Edmonton (Lutheran Church Missouri Synod) and funded initially by the Fort Edmonton Kinsman Club and the Edmonton Quota Club. They developed a “back-to-the-soil” approach to dealing with troubled deaf youth who were trained in farm work, mechanics and wood working. The Church and Society also sponsored a Pax Natura House in the Belgravia area of Edmonton from 1975 [2]. The society was struck off the provincial corporate records in 2019 [3].
OWNERSHIP UNCERTAINTY. This site is a typical PNT story, full of uncertainty; the area is best described as public land (shown green on County Map) with various existing/expired dispositions, one of them being consideration for a NA (i.e. PNT disposition, others may have grazing rights or such).
