COUNCIL CORNER: Town of Tofield enters Phase 2 Relaunch including readying Spray Park for usage
Friends, the Province of Alberta made an official announcement on the Phase 2 Relaunch, which was effective Friday, June 12, 2020.
This announcement sees the further loosening of restrictions, which are in part specific to indoor gatherings and outdoor gatherings, seeing the numbers at 50 and 100 respectively, while still maintaining proper hygiene and physical distancing.
Restrictions on restaurants, cafes, bars and lounges have been removed for occupancy while still maintaining public health measures, and recreation facilities and gyms can reopen as well.
Community Halls can also reopen while still adhering to allowable numbers and maintaining proper sanitization and all other public health measures.
Now, under Phase 2, swimming pools and spray parks can reopen, also garage sales can be held with the presence of social distancing, sanitization and all other provincial protocol.
For further details and specifics, please contact Alberta Health Services or refer to internet based information. Of important note: these areas were unable to open until the phase 2 announcement, as has been detailed by the Province throughout the pandemic. These pieces were outside the Town’s control and mandated by the Province of Alberta.
Therefore given this new information, the Town will be working towards having the spray park prepared and readied for opening in the near future.
Please watch our social media updates on a specific date. As with all pieces, success on phase 2 is based upon the actions of each of us. We must continue to abide by provincial guidelines as we move through phase 2 in readiness for the announcement of phase 3.
I strongly encourage each of you to read the provinces updates and guidelines on phase 2 in the enclosed link: https://www.alberta.ca/albertarelaunch-strategy.aspx
Celebrate success, and please support our local businesses on their path forward.
Stay well, stay healthy.
Respectfully submitted,
Tofield Mayor and Council
