Village of Alberta Beach

Home

Alberta Beach is a picturesque village nestled on the southeastern shore of Lac Ste. Anne, approximately 60 kilometers West of Edmonton.

Originally incorporated as a Summer Village in 1920, it gained full village status in 1999. Alberta Beach is the only urban municipality (city, town, village, and summer village) in Alberta that does not include its municipal status in its official legal name. Its official name is simply Alberta Beach instead of Village of Alberta Beach.

The village has a long history of being a recreational destination. Alberta Beach’s combination of permanent and seasonal residents gives it a unique blend of quiet small-town life with a bustling, vibrant community during the summer months. Alberta Beach’s economy is centred on tourism and recreation.

With a permanent population of 864 based on the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Alberta Beach is a relatively small village. However, during peak summer weekends, the population swells dramatically, reaching up to 3,000 visitors who come to enjoy the lake, outdoor activities, and local amenities.

Alberta Beach has a 5-member Council whose term runs until 2025

WILD Water Commission Truck Fills – Fire Response Priority

As a member of the WILD Water Commission, Alberta Beach would like to remind our residents and stakeholders that active fire/emergency responses in the region must be afforded priority access at WILD truck fill stations. If you notice a fire truck with lights flashing and sirens on in line at a water station, please pull aside to give them immediate access to the site. If you are filling your water tank and must vacate to accommodate a fire response unit, note the time and location of the incident and contact the Commission to discuss compensation for resulting water loss/costs.

Please also consider signing-up to the Commission’s stakeholder (email) notice board for live updates on any restricted access/response impacted/closed stations throughout the year. Visit the Commission website at https://www.wildrwsc.com/ for more information or contact the office at 780-967-0271 for more information.
