Additional Information Related to Public Health Measures from Nov. 24th

November 26, 2020

Effective Dates

The following is provided to address the effective dates of the most recent public health order which you can read about here and here.

There is confusion on when this order, as it applies to sport, begins and ends. 

The sport-specific restrictions begin November 27^th and run for at least three weeks, which is December 18^th.   

In your planning, you should not assume these restrictions are guaranteed to end December 18^th. Depending on how Albertans respond, the restrictions may be extended.

Exemptions

Regarding the Premier’s mention of sports being permitted to apply for exemptions, which we have had more questions about today, we can confirm that these exemptions are not meant for the average sport program. 

In fact, now that written information is available, we can see the standards to obtain an exemption are exceptionally high, as one would expect with the health outcomes our province desires, and we reiterate Ringette Alberta will not be applying for an exemption. Please stay connected to one another and stay healthy.
