On December 8, 2020, the Government of Alberta announced new mandatory public health measures for businesses to help curb the spread of COVID-19.
Effective December 13, 2020, all restaurants, pubs, bars, lounges and cafes must close to in-person service. This includes all temporary outdoor patios and sidewalk cafes. Take out, curbside pickup and delivery services are allowed.
Outdoor retail expansions may continue provided they follow the Province’s requirement to reduce customer capacity to 15% of fire code occupancy.
The City hosts a series of workshops and presentations to help small businesses prepare for regulatory processes. Throughout the year, we bring together key City staff to answer your questions, and help you prepare your applications, on a variety of topics.
If you would like to attend an upcoming workshop, suggest a future workshop topic or if you would be interested in us running a previous workshop again, please reach out to smallbusiness@edmonton.ca.
