COVID-19 relaunch strategy
The safety of our citizens and staff is our primary concern, and will guide our relaunch strategy. While our strategy is informed by the Government of Alberta’s relaunch strategy, we have made and will continue to make decisions that are right for Leduc County, our citizens and our staff.
We have several task forces actively working on our relaunch strategy. These task forces are focused on reopening our buildings, campgrounds and other public spaces, and on strategic economic recovery. The below information is being evaluated regularly and is subject to change; we will provide updates as decisions are made.
