Dear Chamber Members,

We at the Chamber hope you and your families are doing ok during these very trying times. I am sure you are aware that the Provincial Government has imposed very serious measures to residents and businesses to slow the spread of Covid-19. This new restriction of gatherings no larger than 15 people, only if they practice social distancing in combination with the closure of all non-essential businesses is unprecedented.

Please follow the link below to help you determine if your business qualifies as an essential service. If you do not qualify my understanding which is open to interpretation is you can still perform important duties such as HR requirements for your business (banking, payroll & ROE’s etc). Obviously, if you and your staff are set up remotely you can work from home if that makes sense for your business.

Members/Friends, as always, please do not hesitate to contact us at the Chamber any time.

Sherwood Park & District Chamber of Commerce
