We have re-branded!
Please bear with us while we make some changes to the website. With the move to our new office building we took the opportunity to update our logo. Often in the past due to the name "Summer Village Administration" we were mistaken for the ASVA (Alberta Summer Village Association) and people didn't really know which Summer Villages we represented. Our fresh new logo and colour scheme captures the feeling of the lake and lets everyone know which communities we serve.

Summer Villages are an institution in Alberta, nearly as old as the province itself.  Traditionally evolved from cottage summer resort areas where seasonal residents wanted a role in local government or were dissatisfied with the level of service and taxation provided by their local municipality.  There are now five Summer Villages on Sylvan Lake, Birchcliff (1972), Half Moon Bay (1978), Jarvis Bay (1986), Norglenwold (1965) and Sunbreaker Cove (1991) all sharing an administration office since 1991.  Your Summer Village maintains bylaws to protect the watershed, water quality, bank and shoreline, flora and fauna of the natural setting in which we live.
