If you have an emergency (RCMP, FIRE, AMBULANCE) please phone 911.
Please remember that all emergency calls and accompanying responses like medical (heart attacks, cardiac arrest, allergy; ANY MEDICAL EMS 911 CALL) is likely to have a fire truck dispatched from Sturgeon County (this is now standard practice in the Province), which will be accompanied afterwards by a fire assist public service charge to the property once there was a emergency response to the property.
Charges can range between $1000 and $3000 to a property. Once the Summer Village receives the invoice we will pay it and then request payment from the property owner in return. You will receive a letter within 30 days of the charge.
Be aware that late property tax payments (April of the new year) will have this charge added as well as any late penalty charges.
Please inform us of any address changes in correspondence or where your snowbird mailing address is if you intend on renting or decamping. Advising your tenants is your, the property owner's responsibility.
Please make sure that you check with your insurance provider if they will or may cover such cost. Be aware that EMS calls is highly likely to have a fire truck dispatched even if you did NOT request a fire truck and such response will have a accompanying fire cost or charge that is eventually added (April of the new or following year) to the roll.
