The demand at most Calgary restaurants and bars has returned, many of the workers have not

  CALGARY As Alberta and the rest of Canada continues to reopen, businesses are trying to quickly make up for lost time and lost revenue. But many in Calgary s bar and restaurant sector say there s a major problem: staffing. Finding team members is the biggest challenge, by far, said Brett Ireland, the CEO of the Bearhill Brewing group, which has establishments in Calgary, Banff, Jasper and Edmonton. And I m hearing this across the entire industry and even outside of the hospitality industry, he said. Ireland said they re having the most trouble filling kitchen positions, but there are shortages of servers and hosts, too. The Bearhill group usually has about 450 employees spread out at its locations, but Ireland said they re hovering around 300 people right now and can t find people to fill the positions people left behind.

Some industries feel confused, left out of Alberta s Critical Worker Benefit Program

  CALGARY Months after Alberta s Critical Worker Benefit Program started to hand out pandemic pay bumps to frontline workers, some businesses and employees say they re still waiting for payments and answers. Alberta brewery workers are not eligible to receive the wage top-up, despite producing and selling products to people nearly every day of the pandemic.  Unfortunately most of the (liquor) manufacturers in Alberta don t qualify for the critical workers benefit as it was laid out, said Blair Berdusco with the Alberta Small Brewers Association (ASBA). Money from the provincial and federal governments provides a one-time payment of $1,200 to eligible frontline workers. Much of the first $355 million went to public sector workers in the health care, education and social services industries.
