Today a number of restrictions across Alberta have been eased as the province moves forward with its reopening plan. While we are still waiting on the publishing of the latest Public Health Order which will provide additional clarity and set the expectations for this stage we would like to share the information below with members and delivery partners.  

• All indoor and outdoor sport and recreation activities are permitted provincewide 
• Indoor recreation, entertainment and other settings (rec centres, arenas, casinos, cinemas, theatres, museums, galleries, libraries, etc.) – open at 1/3 of fire code occupancy 
• Pools, steam rooms, saunas, and hot tubs within a fitness facility may operate at one-third capacity (2 metre distance between households) 
• Trainers and instructors may be able to come within 3 metres distance of a client/participant for brief moments to correct form or help demonstrate. However, they must be masked during the interaction and sanitize hands before and after. 
• Gyms and fitness studios – open for solo and drop-in activities and indoor fitness classes with 3 metre distancing 
• Youth activities (day camps, overnight camps, play centres) – resume with restrictions
