Mayor Sean McIntyre Resigns

Mayor McIntyre is resigning to take on a position as the Chief of Staff at the City of Red Deer. Town Council will appoint a Councillor as interim Mayor at the Council Meeting on August 23, 2021. The appointment is effective until the municipal election on October 18, 2021.

“It has truly been an honour to serve my hometown as Mayor and do my utmost to lead the Town of Sylvan Lake. I am grateful for my wife and children, who have selflessly supported me in my time on Council and as Mayor; we decided together to embark on a new chapter of our lives. After two terms as Mayor and one term as councillor, it’s time to make room for fresh perspectives and ideas and to build on the many successes our community has achieved. I continue to be amazed at the kindness and community spirit that Sylvan Lakers have shown during this time. The Town of Sylvan Lake is more than my workplace, it’s my home. With my whole heart, I thank you and say goodbye to my role as Mayor. I have an unending appreciation for the staff and residents who work so hard to make our community brighter, better, and brilliant all year. I love you, Sylvan Lake!” 
- Mayor Sean McIntyre

“Mayor Sean McIntyre is stepping down from office after nearly 11 years of service. Always willing to listen, the Mayor advocated on behalf of residents, businesses, and the best interests of the Town of Sylvan Lake. He led the Town of Sylvan Lake through COVID-19, setting an example of compassion and kindness. With both sadness and gratitude, Council says goodbye to our Mayor, but not our friend. We wish him and his family all the best!”
- Town of Sylvan Lake Council

“Over his term on Council and the last eight years as Mayor, Sean has left the Town of Sylvan Lake in a much better place. Both his and Council’s successes speak for themselves – from the NexSource Centre to Pogadl Park, to Urgent Care, to solid financial policies. He will be successful in anything he decides to pursue.”
- Wally Ferris, Chief Administrative Officer
