COVID-19

We are mindful of the uncertainties around in-person conferences during a pandemic and the following outlines our approach to safety:

• We will monitor the situation as it develops and will follow all protocols put in place by the Government of Alberta.
• The conference will be COVID-19-safe and compliant with government health requirements to ensure we protect the health and safety of all attendees.
• Signage will be placed throughout the venue to remind guests of how to prevent the spread of COVID-19, as per Alberta Health Services recommendations.
• We will be promoting behaviours such as physical distancing, mask usage, and limited handshaking.
