Alberta has entered a critical stage of the pandemic, the arrival of highly transmissible variants have put pressure on our health care system. Public health measures are required to protect the health care system and reduce the rising spread of COVID-19 provincewide.
Starting May 5, additional restrictions come into effect for regions with at least 50 cases per 100,000 people, and at least 30 active cases. See list of active cases by region
These restrictions will be in place for at least 3 weeks and will be extended if necessary. Provincewide restrictions remain in effect for all other communities.
The following additional restrictions for High Case Regions come into effect at 11:59 pm on Sunday, May 9
Indoor Activities
- All indoor sport, performance and recreation activities for youth and adults are prohibited.
- Indoor fitness and recreation facilities must close, including for 1-on-1 training.
Outdoor Activities
- All outdoor sports and recreation activities are prohibited, except with members of your household, or your two close contacts if you live alone. This includes:
– All group physical activities, such as team sports, fitness classes, training sessions

- Outdoor recreation facilities can remain open unless specifically closed by public health order.

The volleyball community must continue to work together and protect each other. Our commitment to following guidelines now will hopefully bring a quicker return to sport, so we can enjoy a healthy, fun and safe summer season.
