Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, Minister of Health Tyler Shandro, and Minister of Jobs, Economy and Innovation Doug Schweitzer announced on Wednesday, May 26 the Alberta Open for Summer Plan.
The Open for Summer Plan is a three-stage road map to lift public health restrictions to safely get back to normal and provides a clear picture of a summer without restrictions as long as Albertans continue to follow public health measures in the short term and vaccination numbers continue to rise.
As Alberta reached the 50 per cent threshold for first dose vaccinations as of Tuesday, May 18, and with hospitalizations well below 800, Alberta will enter Stage One beginning on Tuesday, June 1.
