Why was the Strathcona Wilderness Centre closed, even though it's an outdoor space?
1. Why was the Strathcona Wilderness Centre closed, even though it's an outdoor space?
Permanent link to Why was the Strathcona Wilderness Centre closed, even though it's an outdoor space?Strathcona County is taking Alberta Health's direction to limit social gathering places seriously. Alberta Health's direction is that having 6 feet (2 metres) of space between people (physical distancing) will help reduce the spread of COVID-19. While this distance may be achievable while skiing, it may not be in a busy parking lot.
After the Government of Alberta announced a state of public health emergency on March 18, we stopped offering a modified service at the Strathcona Wilderness Centre. The safety of our park's visitors and staff, and minimizing the spread of COVID-19, is our top priority.

Alberta Health's direction is to limit mass gatherings to 15 or less. This will help reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
