The Grande Prairie Regional Hospital Foundation has put out an update in reponse to the new COVID-19 restrictions announced by the Alberta Government on Nov. 24. 

Although the new measures don’t allow festivals or events, the Foundation says since they are set up like a trade show this year to comply with AHS regulations, they will remain open until the end on day tomorrow, Nov. 26. 

Anyone who has purchased tickets for Friday, Saturday or Sunday will be contacted to be offered a different time or a refund.  

They ask people to consider supporting the hospital and health care virtually by shopping and bidding on shop.gphospitalfoundation.ca or by purchasing a raffle ticket. 

The Foundation says, “Thank you to everyone who has sponsored, volunteered, visited or logged in remotely to support the Festival. Stay tuned as we launch a virtual tour for those who couldn’t visit us this year!”
