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. Lake access for near lake residents is via road allowances and environment open spaces which are to be left in their natural state.

Hello All,
As summer is approaching and we all wish things would go back to normal as quickly as possible, it is important to listen to the advice given to us from our Government, including our Chief Medical Officer of Health. Please note the following excerpt from her update:
“This is also not the time for people to go out to their summer cottages or seasonal villages to self-isolate. Services and supports are limited in these communities. Please stay in your own home, and away from others, if you are feeling unwell. Each of us must continue to do everything we can to flatten the curve and keep our friends and family healthy.”
You can read her comments in full here: https://www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?xID=69961C8FA869F-A2ED-1F01-91C6C6B3800FCC51
And from April 3,
“There are many grieving families in our province today, and I extend my sincere condolences to each and every one of them and all the loved ones of those we have lost.
We can honor these people by re-committing to physical distancing and staying home whenever possible. It is particularly important as the spring approaches that we make different decisions about our vacations. Please do not plan to travel to vacation homes, especially those in other provinces or in smaller communities.
We need to be staying close to home over the coming months to limit spread of the virus.”
Thank you,
Tanner Evans
Chief Administrative Officer
Summer Village Administration
