It’s official. We’re going full speed ahead! Though premiere Jason Kenney had teased the news last week, the province just received confirmation that the province will, in fact, be moving ahead into Stage 2 of the Alberta ‘Open For Summer Strategy,’ tomorrow.
“With more than 67 percent of eligible Albertans vaccinated with a first dose, a fully reopened Alberta is within our sight,” Kenney said in a press release. “We are putting the worst of this pandemic behind us for good and moving into a bright summer and an even brighter future.”
Of course, with news like this there’s a lot to unpack, so let’s get into it.
Here’s everything that Albertans can expect on June 10th as the province continues to ease COVID restrictions:
Of course, despite the province giving us a little more wiggle room to socialize and entertain ourselves, the mask mandate is still in place – it’s also recommended that you continue to wash your hands and adhere to distancing guidelines, but ready or not, Alberta – it’s happening.
The end is near, but we should still be cautious, safe, kind and understanding. It’s going to be a long hot summer, so get waxed and get vaxxed (or whatever its the kids are saying these days) and get ready!
As always, if you need any confirmation or if you just want more information about stage 2 of Alberta’s reopening strategy, please visit the official government website here! See you out there, Alberta!
Celebrate Juneteenth this week.
We're ready for another thrilling week!
It's going to be a fantastic week!
