LETTER TO GOVERNMENTS
It’s time for Action!
The Sylvan Lake Watershed Stewardship Society (SLWSS) urges all governments that are responsible for our watershed to apply the Alberta Land Stewardship Act to help protect Sylvan Lake water quality. Rezoning and development by the eight municipal jurisdictions in the watershed of Sylvan Lake are imposing new risks on a fragile natural asset. To read the rest of the letter click here.

Vision
The Natural Assets and Ecological Integrity of Sylvan Lake and it's watershed are conserved for Alberta's future.
Mission
To protect the Sylvan Lake watershed and it's water quality from damage.
Sylvan Lake is under increasing pressure from a host of forces including human activity and development. The days when we could afford to take our lake’s water quality for granted have passed.
The protection of Sylvan Lake through responsible watershed management is the Society’s focus.
A watershed is similar to a puzzle with many varied pieces. Each piece affects the function of the whole. Even though our individual actions may seem small, collectively they can significantly affect the bigger puzzle-the environmental picture and the many values that the lake provides.
