OTTAWA A group of large businesses in Banff National Park is proposing a rapid COVID-19 testing project meant to help reopen the economy safely.
The head of the group Yannis Karlos says rapid testing can guarantee the safety of the community while getting back to a semblance of normality in a place heavily dependent on tourism.
Karlos owns a distillery and restaurant in Banff.
He says the group of businesses that represent 5,300 employees would cover the costs of deploying COVID-19 rapid tests if the Alberta government will supply them.
