Camrose Regional Exhibition (CRE) COVID-19 March 13 Update

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Camrose, AB – The health and safety of our employees, event organizers and guests are our number one priority. Yesterday, Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer announced they are mandating Event Organizers to cancel gatherings larger than 250 people. We are working with our valued clients as they decide whether to run their events and updates will be shared on our website/social media. We will continue to monitor the situation and take the necessary steps needed in consultation with Alberta Health Services, the City of Camrose and other stakeholders to keep our people and our guests safe and prevent the spread of the virus.

The CRE is fully open to welcome all our guests. We have heightened our hand washing and cleaning protocols with staff and contractors. CRE undergoes a rigorous cleaning procedure after every event with particular attention paid to high-traffic, high public-contact areas. Many areas will receive additional, enhanced measures throughout the course of events for the foreseeable future.

For all CRE guests, to protect themselves and others, we strongly recommend the following measures:

  • use good hygiene practices, such as frequent hand washing
  • cover coughs and sneezes
  • avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands
  • stay at home and away from others if you are feeling ill

CRE will continue to monitor the situation, consult and communicate with local and national health officials and take other steps, as required. For guests interested in more information, please visit the Alberta Health Services website.
