Restaurants across Alberta can resume patio service today
Today’s the day, Alberta. Restaurants across the province are now officially permitted to open their patios once again after over three weeks of restrictions on dine-in services.
Since May 9, 2021, all in-person dining, including outdoor patios, had to close for at least a three-week period.
During a press conference last week, the Government of Alberta outlined the provinceās plan for reopening.
Premier Jason Kenney announced a 3-stage roadmap outlining how restrictions will ease while protecting the healthcare system.
