Dear Golf Industry Partners / Key Stakeholders,
The following are highlights of Stage 1 of the plan (effective June 1st):
- Outdoor physical, performance and recreation activities - up to 10 distanced people, all ages. It is our understanding that golfers as of June 1st can now make multiple tee-time reservations up to a maximum of 10, plus outdoor golf lessons can proceed with up to 10 people including professional staff.
-
It is our understanding the previous guidance for sport, fitness and recreation will still be applicable which means that carts can be used by one individual only or can be shared by members of the same household.
- Wedding ceremonies are now permitted for up to 10 people, including officiant, bride/groom, witnesses (receptions remain prohibited).
- Outdoor dining is now permitted with 4 people per table max, households only or 2 close contact for those living alone.
- Retail - 15% of fire code occupancy (must maintain ability to distance)
- Distancing and masking requirements remain in effect.
The start date for Stage 2 is expected in mid-June however this depends on vaccination levels (60% of Albertans 12+ have received single dose) and hospitalizations below 500 and declining.
In recent discussions between NAGA Alberta and the Government, it has been noted that operators across the province are to be commended for their professionalism; not only over the recent weeks with the latest restrictions but over the entire stretch of this pandemic. NAGA Alberta would like to thank everyone for their patience during this time; the cooperation of everyone has helped immensely as we navigated through these complicated times.
NAGA Alberta continues to monitor Government announcements, seek clarification, and provide updates. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions.
Sincerely,
