- 26A: Michael Dawe posted this aerial photograph on Facebook with the following caption: The Village of Sylvan Lake, 1936. Notice that the Varsity Hall was the last major building as a person went east along Lakeshore Drive. Also, the two big buildings at the foot of the main pier are the Pavilion Dance Hall and the Sylvan Lake Hotel. The Boathouse is hard to see because of the trees. Photo by Sid Wardle.
