February 9, 2022
Dear Golf Industry Partners / Key Stakeholders,
As we continue to monitor the provincial restrictions imposed on businesses to curtail the health risks associated with Covid-19, we are providing all stakeholders with the most recent information available.
The Provincial Government has announced revisions to the Restrictions Exemption Program effective 11:59pm February 8, 2022. In addition, a 3-step path forward has been announced:
Step 1:
Alberta entered Step 1 on February 9. The following changes are now in effect, unless otherwise stated:
- Restrictions Exemption Program removed, along with most associated restrictions.
- Capacity limits in large facilities and entertainment venues (500+) remain in place, but food and beverages now allowed in seats.
- Capacity limits for locations not covered under the REP program are removed.
- Mandatory masking requirements removed for children 12 and under in all settings as of February 14.
Step 2:
Alberta will enter Step 2 starting on March 1, if hospitalizations are trending downwards. At that time, the following measures will be updated:
- Youth screening activities for entertainment and sport activities removed
- Capacity on all large venues and entertainment venues lifted.
- Indoor and outdoor social gathering limits lifted.
- Mandatory work-from-home requirements lifted.
- Indoor masking no longer required.
Step 3:
The timeline for Alberta entering Step 3 is to be determined and will depend on hospitalization rates continuing to trend downward.
- Mandatory isolation removed (becomes a recommendation only).
Additional details on all restrictions and measures in place will be released prior to each step at
alberta.ca/CovidMeasures.

At this time, the NAGA Alberta Board of Directors would like to thank Erica Beck, Alberta and BC Regional Director for the NGCOA Canada who has recently accepted a new position within the golf industry.
As part of her role with the NGCOA Canada, Erica’s commitment and leadership to NAGA Alberta has been instrumental over the past five years, especially during her latest term as President in addressing the challenges we have all faced within our industry.
In closing, NAGA Alberta will continue to monitor Government announcements, seek clarification, and provide updates, if required in the future.
Sincerely,
