INTRODUCTION
Sylvan Lake, Consider Yourself Invited! The Town of Sylvan Lake is situated on the southeast edge of Sylvan Lake, a 15-kilometre-long freshwater lake in Red Deer County. Sylvan Lake was originally settled by French speaking immigrants from Quebec and the United States in 1899. The completion of the Canadian Northern rail line to Rocky Mountain House and Nordegg in 1912 and the parallel Canadian Pacific rail line (CPR) in 1914 opened the settlement and resulted in the incorporation of Sylvan Lake in 1913. Farming quickly became a mainstay in the area. Over time, Sylvan Lake has become a favorite vacationing spot of families from both Edmonton and Calgary. The lake is a popular destination for tourists from around Alberta, with over 1.5 million visitors each year. Popular visitor activities include swimming, boating, paddle boarding, and jet-skiing in the summer, and ice fishing, skating, hockey and outdoor festivals are highlights of the winter, spring and fall. Sylvan Lake is a vibrant lakeside community with a high-quality lifestyle that respects the environment, provides diverse economic opportunities, and values efficient, inclusive, and transparent government. Sylvan Lakers are very proud of their community and enjoy access to recreational activities that are unique to a lakeside community.
