Good morning,
As mentioned in an earlier email communication, the Province of Alberta is presently at Stage 0 of their relaunch strategy which means
Clubhouses and Pro Shops are to remain closed until the province enters Stage 1. Initially, Stage 1 of Alberta's Relaunch Strategy was to begin no sooner than May 14; however based on the direction of Dr. Hinshaw and Alberta Health Services this date could change.
During yesterday's press conference with Dr. Hinshaw, protocols for reopening were announced for both restaurants and retail locations;
however, reopening dates were not yet announced. While we await clarification of the launch of Stage 1; we are sharing the protocols so golf courses can start to plan accordingly and ahead of an announcement on when these areas will be allowed to open. Click on the links below to download the protocol documents:
The Government of Alberta has also launched a new online web portal to help businesses affected by COVID-19 begin to reopen and resume operations safely. To access the web portal, please click on the link below:
We will be monitoring future announcements pertaining to the launch of Stage 1 but until we enter that stage,
both Clubhouses and Pro shops must remain closed
. NAGA Alberta will send updates with the details as soon as a provincial announcement is made. At this time, we wished to share the information learned today so all golf courses can prepare accordingly and be ready for when reopening is allowed.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at
ebeck@ngcoa.ca should you have any questions.
