The land that Half Moon Bay is now situated on was Crown Land until 1947, when Helge Samuel Abrahamson bought it under the Homestead Act and remained until 1960. He then sold 30 acres to Dave McCutcheon and Paul Galoien, who had the property subdivided into three crescents and one street. Half Moon Bay was incorporated as a Summer Village on November 7, 1977 and became effective on January 1, 1978. This made Half Moon Bay the 35th Summer Village to be formed in Alberta. Half Moon Bay consists of 67 lots.
The Summer Village of Half Moon Bay is transitioning to an automated garbage pick-up system. Bins and an information package will be delivered to each residence on May 14, 2020. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Summer Village office at 403-887-2822. See flyer for details.

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 earlier this week:
“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
Canada's chief public health officer also weighed in on the subject Sunday, making it clear in no uncertain terms that this is not the time to head for a cottage, cabin or camp.
"Urban dwellers should avoid heading to rural properties, as these places have less capacity to manage COVID-19," Dr. Theresa Tam said at a press conference in Ottawa. There are also supply-chain issues to consider. Retailers across the country have found it difficult to keep food, cleaning supplies and other highly-demanded products on their shelves. For stores in remote areas that are used to serving small populations at this time of year, a sudden influx of cottagers can make it even more difficult to meet the needs of their year-round customers. https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/don-t-head-to-your-cottage-to-wait-out-covid-19-pandemic-canadians-warned-1.4873267
Thank you,
