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 Red Deer Watershed Alliance (RDRWA) has developed an online survey form regarding lake use and potential concerns from lake users. They would very much appreciate it if you were able to fill out this survey and potentially share it with other community members with a goal of having responses by October 13th, 2026. The intent is to provide information for their upcoming State of the Watershed report.

The Sylvan Lake Regional Water/Wastewater Commission is pleased to announce that the Government of Alberta has committed $18.4 million through the Water for Life program to complete the final phase of the regional wastewater system. This investment will connect Eckville, Summer Village of Half Moon Bay, and parts of Lacombe County, advancing a regional vision more than 20 years in the making. The final phase is estimated at $20.4 million, with the system expected to be operational in late 2027.
Commission Chair Mike Pashak said, “We sincerely thank Minister Dreeshen and Minister Nixon for their support. This investment provides a low-cost wastewater solution, protects our drinking water and Sylvan Lake, and delivers lasting benefits for the entire region.” |
