A Community Posting Board, sponsored by Friends of the Lake Front (FOLF) is located on the south wall of the washrooms by the swim beach in the Summer Village of Parkland Beach (SVPB)

Friends of the Lakefront (FOLF) is a community group formed to protect and enhance the community, beach and lakefront area.  Some of our initiatives have been the playground, north and south bathrooms, outdoor adult gym equipment, tree plantings, wildflower reserve, pathways and this bulletin board. This summer we will install signs explaining the birds and plants found along our shore as well as new garbage/recycling containers.

Funds for projects like these were obtained through donations and grants from the county of Ponoka and CFEP (Government of Alberta).

To create revenue for required dollar matching on grant applications, advertising space is available on this board at the following rates:

• Business Cards –  $10 per month or $50 for the calendar year
• 5×7 Display –         $25 per month or $125 for the calendar year

If you know of a local business that may benefit from advertising with us while helping raise funds to further enhance our community, please have them contact us.

Community announcements and personal advertising are available to residents for free as a service to the community.

To promote your business, display an ad or event, please contact

• Kathy Whiteside, CAO of SVPB by visiting the village office or calling 403-843-2055.  Outside business hours, deposit your card or ad along with payment into the office mailbox and it will be processed within the week.
• Tanya Galey. FOLF member at 403-919-8685 (cell) or 403-236-8685

Would you like to get involved?
