Stephane Prevost sat outside one of his two Caribou Street restaurants in the Alberta tourism hotspot while inside a skeleton back-end staff filled a rare takeout order.
On April 6, the Alberta government announced another round of restrictions on businesses and public life amid a third wave of COVID-19 infections.
