About Sylvan Lake
The town
Sylvan Lake is a lakeside town of about 16,000 people in 2021, up 8% from 2016, about 25 km west of Red Deer by Highway 11. Cabins and dance halls for summer visitors came with the first settlers; it became a village in 1913 and a town in 1946. Its beaches and marinas draw visitors year-round, and oil and gas and construction employ much of the workforce. In town, the Planning and Development Department issues development and building permits. A community health centre in town treats urgent but not life-threatening problems; the nearest emergency department is at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, open 24 hours.
Around it
Eight municipalities share the lake: the town, Red Deer County, Lacombe County and five summer villages (Birchcliff, Half Moon Bay, Jarvis Bay, Norglenwold and Sunbreaker Cove). Their joint intermunicipal plan, adopted in 2021, sends plans and bylaw changes in the area to all partners for comment, takes a 30 m environmental reserve from the lake's top of bank when land is subdivided, and requires new or replacement septic systems on non-farm lots under 4,050 m² (1 acre) to tie into a regional sewer line or use a holding tank or communal system. In the countryside, Red Deer County issues development and building permits itself; Lacombe County issues development permits and leaves safety codes permits to accredited agencies. Jarvis Bay Provincial Park, 4 km north on Highway 20, has a campground and trails above the lake. Edmonton International Airport has scheduled airline service.
