Norquay says "After several weeks of seeking clarification from Alberta Health Services (AHS) for guidelines on the best way to operate, this 2021/22 winter season we have decided to implement the Province of Alberta’s Restriction Exemption Program (REP) across all facilities at Mt Norquay.

"Currently, implementing the REP program best ensures the safety of our guests and staff and allows us to efficiently operate our lifts and indoor spaces at full capacity.

"As you will be aware, the REP program requires those 12 years and over who are visiting us to show proof of vaccination, along with government-issued identification for those who are 18 years or older. An Alberta Government-approved, privately paid negative rapid test taken within 72 hours will also be accepted, as will valid medical exemptions as required by the Alberta Government. View here"
