Sylvan Lake bans charcoal BBQs

May 16, 2019 | 8:04 PM

Charcoal BBQs are now banned in all Sylvan Lake parks and green spaces.

Primarily impacted are the lakefront parks.

“We understand picnicking and barbecuing is a popular activity when visiting Sylvan Lake, however, the growing presence of charcoal grills creates both operational challenges, and potential safety concerns,” explains Lee Furlotte, Parks Manager.

Improper disposal of charcoal briquettes can result in a greater risk of fire, personal injury, and damages to park infrastructure and vegetation, according to the Town.
