As a community resident and member of the Elbow Valley Residents Club, you will have access to all of the amenities at the residents clubhouse, including the fire pits, boats, basketball and tennis courts, paddle boats, kayaks and paddle boards, and the grassed area adjacent to the playground. These are available on a first come, first serve basis, with some exceptions. There is no cost to use the outdoor amenities. Any costs associated with upkeep of community amenities are included in the monthly community fee.

Tennis lessons are offered to residents over the summer (typically four to five-week long, 60-90 minute evening sessions). During these times, the tennis court will not be available for anyone outside of the lessons.

In cases where you wish to book and use the residents clubhouse for a private event, there will be a cost. You can book here.

We require everyone signs a waiver prior to using any of the recreational equipment offered by the residents club. The waiver will then be kept on file.

For the months of June and September, if you wish to take out a paddle boat, kayak, paddle board or life jacket, please visit the clubhouse for the keys between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. All keys must be returned to the office by 4:30 p.m. During the weekends of June and September boathouse staff will be on shift from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturdays and from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays, weather permitting.

In the summer months of July and August, the boathouse staff is on shift from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (weather permitting) 7 days a week. All equipment must be returned no later than 6:30 p.m.

Having a pet can be fulfilling for many people. Too many pets, however, or one that constantly creates a disturbance, can be an issue for other residents of Elbow Valley. Community pet guidelines exist for this reason.

Each home is allowed a maximum of six pets total, including cats, dogs, reptiles and any other kind of animal, with the exception of fish. More specifically, three cats and/or three dogs are allowed per household. Any other animal is not to exceed 10 kg. Pets that are causing an unreasonable disturbance may be removed on order of the Board of Directors. In all cases, the decision of the Board on pet situations is final.

Owners are responsible for picking up all pet excrement. Disposal bags and garbage cans are available throughout the neighbourhood. Cleaning up after your pet must be done in all areas of Elbow Valley. When outside the off-leash area, pets must ALWAYS be on a leash. Off leash areas can be found on the community map.

In order for Elbow Valley to remain a retreat for residents and wildlife alike, we have architectural guidelines in place that are registered on your property title as a legally enforceable restrictive covenant. This allows us to uphold and maintain the quality and value of the community and your home. Having these guiding principles in place help create and grow our community in a positive fashion.

​The objective of the Architectural Design Policies and Procedures is to ensure that all Elbow Valley homeowners have a cohesive, distinctive, standard to follow, but one which still encourages innovative design expression. As such, the guidelines form an integral part of the Elbow Valley community.

The Architectural Design Committee, along with consulting partners, are responsible for managing and enforcing the community architectural guidelines. The intent of this group is to simplify and guide the home renovation process, while ensuring each home blends perfectly with its surroundings and fits the overall character of the community.

To learn more about the different guidelines before you begin any home improvement or renovation project, we encourage homeowners to carefully read through all documentation below.
