UPDATE:

The Town of Sylvan Lake is closing all lake skating surfaces on Wednesday March 3 at 7:00 AM due to the warming temperatures affecting the integrity of the ice. Crews will be monitoring conditions in the event that the surfaces need to be closed sooner.

Access to the beachfront from Lakeshore Drive will close on Wednesday morning as crews begin work on site.

A reminder to everyone walking along the beachfront to use caution and awareness as we transition to warmer temperatures and deteriorating ice conditions.

 

Original Post:

Due to the warmer weather, the town of Sylvan Lake has made some adjustments to their winter activities. 

Community rinks are no longer open for the season but people can still make use of the rink on the lake. Town staff will continue to monitor the lake’s ice surface in the meantime. 

The ice slide has been deemed unsafe due to the warmer weather and heavy usage of the slide.
