March 17, 2020 - Announcement

Alberta Declares State of Emergency

Alberta declared a state of emergency under the Public Health Act on March 17th, 2020 

New public health measures are now recommended to limit the time Albertans spend in large crowds and crowded spaces. Effective immediately:

• all events over 50 people to be cancelled
• no attendance at rec centres, casinos, bingo halls, bars, theatres and other facilities
• sit-down restaurants can remain open at lower capacity

Full details available on the Government of Alberta COVID-19 coronavirus info for Albertans webpage. 

 RGA Office Closure

At this time, the RGA physical office is closed in order to be compliant with the federal and provincial governments request to ‘work from home’ if you can. We believe it is both morally and ethically responsible to comply with this in order to protect the most vulnerable members of our society. RGA staff will continue working from home, however, and although we will be regularly checking the office phone messages, the best way to reach us will be via email:

Jennifer Rochford, Executive Director – jen.rga@gmail.com

Kelly Mils, Events and Member Services – kam.rga@gmail.com

Ellie Monument, Marketing and Membership Development – ellie.rgalberta@gmail.com

 Also, be sure to keep your eyes on our social media feeds to stay connected as a community and for support and resources to continue club services in new and innovative ways.
