NEW PROVINCEWIDE PUBLIC HEALTH MEASURES ANNOUNCED
Alberta has declared a state of public health emergency. 

Starting September 20, discretionary businesses and events must follow one of these 2 options:
  1. Implement the Restrictions Exemption Program requiring proof of vaccination or negative test result to continue operating as usual, or
  2. Follow business capacity and operating restrictions as outlined on https://www.alberta.ca/covid-19-public-health-actions.aspx

GARRISON WAINWRIGHT VACCINATION CARD INFORMATION
The Garrison Wainwright Chief of Staff requested that the below information be circulated to the Wainwright & District business community.

In the below are the various documents that are provided to military members (and in some cases dependents) as proof of vaccination. While the Garrison Wainwright will fall in on the provincial system once it’s operational, should that not be the case by September 20th, there may be some instances of members asking to use some of these documents to access local business.
