Summer Villages in Alberta, are a long standing tradition. What used to be traditional cottage summer resort areas, they have become beautiful longstanding communities. There are five Summer Villages around the lake now, Birchcliff (1972), Jarvis Bay (1986), Half Moon Bay (1978), Norglenwold (1965), and finally Sunbreaker Cove (1991).
All Five villages share an administrative office, as all of the summer villages maintain bylaws to protect the watershed, water quality, bank, and shoreline, flora and fauna of the natural setting in which we live.
The Summer Village of Half Moon Bay is a quiet, country residential community. They strive to keep it a safe area, while still meeting the needs of permanent and seasonal residents alike. They demonstrate a deep commitment to being good stewards of the environment, and they encourage passive, family oriented uses & activities.
Along the northern shore of Alberta's premier lake, Birchcliff stands as a beacon of lake community living. Safety is paramount, and the village works hard to ensure peace of mind for all who call Birchcliff Home. Residents can find comfort in a welcoming community, boasting a diverse and progressive environment. The character of this quiet little village is defined by its quaint country lanes, set within the trees and natural areas. The natural shoreline that follows this lovely winding road, offers one of a kind views of Sylvan Lake. The community has taken the time and dedication to install carefully groomed trails and pathways.
Birchcliff environmental stewardship is upheld by residents' reverence for the for surrounding natural beauty. Every aspect of Sylvan Lake and it's watershed, from lake health and water quality to wildlife and natural habitat, is cherished and protected. Birchcliff is more than just a place to reside, this is home where the spirit of the community thrives, and people matter.
The Summer Village of Jarvis Bay was incorporated January 1st, 1986. It is a seasonal residential community, loved by all. Recent years have reflected this, and shown a market increase in new residential lots, redevelopment of properties, and the introduction of municipal services. The village seeks to maintain the quality of life they currently enjoy, seasonal and permanent residents alike. The recreational atmosphere, open spaces, and essential amenities appeal to all.
Norglenwold has the honoured distinction of being the first Summer Village to be created on Sylvan Lake, being first formed in 1965. Originally, the community was quite lineal, developing along the lakeshore from the East, at Northey Point, down to the West, at Lyle Landing. More recently, Sylvan Harbour estates was developed, adjacent to the Town of Sylvan Lake's Marina Bay Estates, and the area known as "Last Chance Way" was annexed west of Lyle Landing in 1973. Seasonal cabins in this area date back to the 1920's and 1930's. The name Norglenwold was derived from its early subdivisions: Nor (Northey Point), Glen (Glen-Innes) and Wold (Whitewold Beach).
Sunbreaker Cove is located 45 km North-West of the city of Red Deer, Alberta. It lies along the North-East side of Sylvan Lake, a quiet residential community. The name Sunbreaker Cove came from combining Sunhaven, The Breakers, and Glenn's Cove. Glenn's Cove is a reference to an old farm stead that originally was in the vicinity of the present day village.
