Stephan: Second stage of relaunch serves Albertans well
I am thrilled Stage 2 of Alberta’s Relaunch strategy has been accelerated both in timing and scope.
In timing, Stage 2 has been moved forward a week from June 19, to now commence this Friday. In scope, Stage 2 has also been expanded so that Relaunch now supports substantially all of the activities Alberta families and individuals enjoyed prior to the Pandemic.
The full details of Stage 2 are found at https://www.alberta.ca/alberta-relaunch-strategy.aspx#stage2
Albertans do not want Government micromanaging their lives with prescriptive do’s and don’ts. That limits freedom. Albertans are aware of general safety guidelines, such as physical distancing, and as applicable, supplementary guidance from Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health. Albertans are then trusted to apply these guidelines and govern themselves, embracing life while accepting reasonable, informed risks in the course of daily living.
