ALBERTA GOVT. THREE-STAGE PLAN TO EASE COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS: Stage 1

On Wednesday May 26 2021, the Alberta government unveiled its three-stage "open for summer" plan, a strategy to lift health restrictions that is tied directly to vaccination rates and hospitalization numbers.

Stage 1 of the reopening will start on June 01 2021 and will proceed as follows:

• Places of worship - 15% of fire code occupancy (effective May 28)

• Outdoor social gatherings - up to 10 people (indoor social gatherings still not permitted)

• Outdoor physical, performance and recreation activities - up to 10 distanced people, all ages

• Personal and wellness services - re-open, by appointment only

• Funeral services - up to 20 people, not including facility staff, funeral clergy or organizers not considered guests (receptions remain prohibited)

• Wedding ceremonies - up to 10 people, including officiant, bride/groom, witnesses (receptions remain prohibited)

• Restaurants - 4 people per table max, outdoors, households only or 2 close contact for those living alone

• Retail - 15% of fire code occupancy (must maintain ability to distance)
