Sylvan Lake amenities remain closed for May Long Weekend
The May Long Weekend is typically heralded as the unofficial kick-off to the summer season. But officials with the Town of Sylvan Lake are reminding central Albertans to not come for a visit, and to stay home in their own communities for now.
With a large number of amenities still closed to the public due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Director of Emergency Management Ron Lebsack, says having visitors in Sylvan Lake at this time would simply overwhelm places like their beaches or lakefront area.
He acknowledges that it’s a tough ask, especially for those with seasonal properties in the community.
“There are a huge number of those people, as well as the number of day visitors that come out,” says Lebsack.
