Since launching in 1995, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has become the preeminent early childhood book-gifting program in the world. The flagship program of The Dollywood Foundation, has gifted nearly 200 million free books in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and The Republic of Ireland. The Imagination Library mails more than 2 million high-quality, age-appropriate books each month to enrolled children from birth to age five. Dolly envisioned creating a lifelong love of reading and inspiring children to dream more, learn more, care more and be more.
Heading west on the lakefront walking path you are led to the Lighthouse. Strolling the Lighthouse Commemorative Path and Rotary Lighthouse Park is beautiful reminder of the energy of a Laker. Like the Lighthouse, Lakers are enduring, resilient and strong, proud and filled with passion.
During the summer months our beautiful lady welcomes visitors with grace and during the quiet of winter she stands strong and proud through passing time for her community.
History of our Lighthouse
To commemorate the 100th birthday of Sylvan Lake, The Rotary Club of Sylvan Lake took on the challenge to rebuild the lighthouse from the ground up and in 2016 the project was complete.
The original lighthouse was in decline and after demolition, Trevor Sigfusson, President of SL Rotary at the time, took on the challenge to rebuild. Since then, our community has supported the Town of Sylvan Lake and Rotary, as they work together to continue to enhance Rotary Lighthouse Park.
Designed like Peggys Cove Lighthouse, over $240,000.00 was raised through various grants, donations and fundraisers and on Canada Day 2016 the Rotary Lighthouse Park was officially open for visitors.
