Is there COVID-19 Guidance for canvassing and campaigning?

The Government of Alberta has produced a risk reduction guide for conducting municipal elections during the COVID-19 pandemic. The document outlines public health and infection prevention and control measures to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission among workers, volunteers, and the general public. This document and the guidance within it is subject to change and will be updated as needed.
