to read the entire MLRA relaunch document. It is important that registered junior members in your household (adult or youth) who may come to the lake on their own are also informed of the new procedures in place during this time.

We, together with several other lake communities have taken a cautious approach to re-opening and have placed the safety of our staff and members as our highest priority. Thank you to the members of this community who have been so very supportive and patient during the period we have remained closed.

On Saturday July 11th we were randomly selected for inspection by Alberta Health Services. They were inspecting physical capacity, social distancing practices as well as COVID 19 signage. The measures we have had in place meet AHS guidelines and recommendations.

Effective, Monday July 20th, as part of our phased re-opening process we will be opening the south washroom and permitting limited guest admissions;

-One senior member may admit 2 guests weekdays, 9:00AM until noon (you must be in by noon, you do not have to leave by noon). This excludes holidays and weekends.
-The member must remain on site with the guest(s) at all times.
-This privilege is not extended to junior members.
-The privilege may be revoked with little or no notice.
-There are no exceptions for additional guests or admissions after noon.

COVID-19 Update
1. Effective July 1st, 2020 the Park's closing hour will be extended from 8:00PM to 9:00PM daily.
2. At this point it is unknown when we will be permitting guests, barbecues or lending out equipment.
3. Unfortunately, Midnapore Lake is not part of the provincial Stage 2 relaunch which allows certain businesses to resume operations with restrictions.
4. We look forward to seeing you soon and ask that you practice appropriate physical distancing.
5. Updates will be provided as circumstances change.
We thank you for your continued understanding and patience.

Please be advised that the lake will be closed for swimming (water activites), fishing, and boating until tomorrow Friday June 19th. We are treating the lake for algae.

Thanky you for your understanding

Earlier this week Premier Kenny announced that the government was moving to Stage 2 of the provincial relaunch strategy. Starting tomorrow additional businesses and services will reopen and be permitted to resume operations with conditions. Details of what businesses and services permitted to reopen can be found at:

https://www.alberta.ca/guidance-documents.aspx />
The provincial Stage 2 relaunch strategy does not allow us to expand the services we are currently able to provide under our Phase 1 opening. We are receiving questions concerning admitting guests. Only when Alberta Health Services rescinds the physical distance rule currently in place will we then be able to accept group bookings as well as reinstate full guest privileges.

Thank you for your continued understanding and patience.
