April 24, 2020 | Red Deer, AB – After weeks of being optimistic that Westerner Days Fair and Exposition would continue, Westerner Park made the extremely difficult announcement that the Fair will be postponed until July 2021. The decision came following the Government of Alberta’s direction that mass gathering restrictions, which includes events and festivals, are expected to continue through the summer.
March 24, 2020 | Red Deer, AB – As a community minded non profit organization our community, guests, staff and volunteers are of utmost importance to us. To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, effective immediately there will be no public access to Westerner Park. However, staff and security will remain on-site to support the ongoing management of our facilities. Our staff will also be working remotely until further notice.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during these extraordinary times.
Alberta Health Services encourages all Albertans to visit alberta.ca/COVID19 for the latest information, guidance and resources.
March 17 2020 | Red Deer, AB— As of March 17, at 2:00 pm the Alberta Government has stated that effective immediately and until further notice, they are implementing additional measures, including cancelling events that have more than 50 people. All Albertans are prohibited from attending public recreational facilities and private entertainment facilities, including gyms, swimming pools, arenas, science centres, museums, art galleries, community centres, children’s play centres, casinos, racing entertainment centres, and bingo halls.
Westerner Park fully supports these additional measures and will make adjustments accordingly.
Westerner Park fully supports and respects the decision made by the CHL and WHL to suspend the season. We share in the values of protecting the health and safety of everyone.
Westerner Park will continue to follow the direction from Alberta Heath Service for its ongoing operations.
We thank the community for their understanding during this evolving situation.
