I tried to contact the Alberta Government office 310.000 today and was told by an automated voice to call back later as they are experiencing a higher than normal call volume. I wasn't suprised. I did manage to reach Shane Hussey (Director, Safe Healthy Environments - Based in High Level) 780.841.3275. He is available to assist any businesses with questions. He has 2 Inspectors who will be assisting him in monitoring our region. Businesses can also get more information at: h...ttps://www.alberta.ca/enhanced-public-health-measures.aspx "BEND THE CURVE Due to Alberta’s high case numbers, aggressive action is required now to protect our health system from being overwhelmed.
