Jun 1, 2021 | 8:17 AM

EDMONTON – Albertans can book appointments at barber shops, hair salons and other personal wellness services starting today.

Outdoor public gatherings will double to 10 people from five, and restaurants can resume patio service.

Retail shops can now have 15 per cent maximum customer capacity.

Indoor social gatherings remain banned.

The changes, which were announced last week by Premier Jason Kenney, are linked to more people getting vaccinated for COVID-19 and hospitalization numbers dropping.
