COVID-19 Update

Lloydminster, AB/SK – The City of Lloydminster has cancelled its 2020 Canada Day celebration, along with other large-scale events through the spring and summer.

With provincially mandated limits on public gatherings still in effect, the City faces significant challenges in planning, funding and executing public events.

"Cancellation of these popular spring and summer events represents yet another dilemma our municipality has grappled with since the pandemic began; however, public safety remains our utmost priority,” said Mayor Gerald Aalbers. "We have come so far in our collective battle against COVID-19, we must continue to protect each other until the battle is won.”

Cancelled 2020 events include:

  • Canada Day – July 1
  • Streetfest – June 27
  • Pet Expo – June 13-15
  • Summer Fun Camps (June through August)
  • Heritage Day – August 3

“We thank the many staff and volunteers who have already invested efforts into preparing for these events, and we look forward to reuniting our community in spirited celebrations as soon as the scourge of COVID-19 is behind us,” said Mayor Aalbers.

The City is proceeding with phased reopenings of select business within city limits beginning in May, in accordance with the recently announced ‘Re-open Saskatchewan’ plan.

Residents are encouraged to take part in the Virtual Canada Day celebration, hosted by the Federal Ministry of Canadian Heritage.

COVID-19 prevention and protection measures include:

  • maintaining two metres of separation from other individuals
  • using good hygiene practices, such as frequent handwashing
  • staying at home and away from others if you are feeling ill

Individuals with concerns about symptoms should call Alberta’s Health Link (811) or Saskatchewan’s HealthLine (811) unless severely ill in which case you should call 911 and inform the operator that you suspect COVID-19. Learn more about the City’s response to COVID-19 at lloydminster.ca/covid-19.
