Good morning,
As mentioned in our meeting last week, we would like to request that all municipalities encourage their residents to download the secure ABTraceTogether app. Unlike the federal app, ABTraceTogether is directly integrated with Alberta’s contact tracing system. Notification of exposure is left to health experts to follow up directly with those at risk, support them in their recovery and ensure they isolate. In the time since ABTraceTogether launched, we have made a number of improvements. We updated the app in September to address any privacy concerns and allow it to run in the background on IOS. It can detect interactions between two iPhones while the app is in the background or on a locked iPhone.
The technology in ABTraceTogether has been successfully used in Singapore, Australia and other places to stop the spread of COVID19. And while any app is only one small part of the fight against COVID19, ABTraceTogether remains an effective public health tool.
Thank you,
Alberta Health Emergency Operations Center

This is for interested community members - Tamarack is our health advisory council
Good morning,
As mentioned in our meeting last week, we would like to request that all municipalities encourage their residents to download the secure ABTraceTogether app. Unlike the federal app, ABTraceTogether is directly integrated with Alberta’s contact tracing system. Notification of exposure is left to health experts to follow up directly with those at risk, support them in their recovery and ensure they isolate. In the time since ABTraceTogether launched, we have made a number of improvements. We updated the app in September to address any privacy concerns and allow it to run in the background on IOS. It can detect interactions between two iPhones while the app is in the background or on a locked iPhone.
The technology in ABTraceTogether has been successfully used in Singapore, Australia and other places to stop the spread of COVID19. And while any app is only one small part of the fight against COVID19, ABTraceTogether remains an effective public health tool.
Thank you,
Alberta Health Emergency Operations Center

The Tamarack Health Advisory Council (HAC) invite local and area residents to participate in one of two virtual training sessions: Transform Your Stress: The Resilience Advantage - Strategies for Managing Stress in Challenging Times for residents in the Tamarack region.
The Transform Your Stress training is free and is designed for everyone, including professionals and community members. Since the onset of COVID-19, many Albertans have identified feeling stressed. This online introductory webinar provides a basic discussion of stress and looks at different ways to manage it, including two HeartMath® breathing techniques.

It is hoped that through this workshop participants will build an understanding of the impact of emotions on the body and how to develop an action plan to address their own stress.
We hope you will join us for one of these free sessions and be part of a community effort to improve the wellness of our friends, family and colleagues across the region. These free sessions will be held by Zoom, participants must pre-register using the links below.

The Tamarack Health Advisory Council (HAC) invite local and area residents to participate in one of two virtual training sessions: Transform Your Stress: The Resilience Advantage - Strategies for Managing Stress in Challenging Times for residents in the Tamarack region.
The Transform Your Stress training is free and is designed for everyone, including professionals and community members. Since the onset of COVID-19, many Albertans have identified feeling stressed. This online introductory webinar provides a basic discussion of stress and looks at different ways to manage it, including two HeartMath® breathing techniques.
The goal for this event is to build awareness of the psychosocial factors that can help people to be psychologically healthy and safe. It is hoped that through this workshop participants will build an understanding of the impact of emotions on the body and how to develop an action plan to address their own stress.
We hope you will join us for one of these free sessions and be part of a community effort to improve the wellness of our friends, family and colleagues across the region. These free sessions will be held by Zoom, participants must pre-register using the links below.

Good morning,
As mentioned in our meeting last week, we would like to request that all municipalities encourage their residents to download the secure ABTraceTogether app. Unlike the federal app, ABTraceTogether is directly integrated with Alberta’s contact tracing system. Notification of exposure is left to health experts to follow up directly with those at risk, support them in their recovery and ensure they isolate. In the time since ABTraceTogether launched, we have made a number of improvements. We updated the app in September to address any privacy concerns and allow it to run in the background on IOS. It can detect interactions between two iPhones while the app is in the background or on a locked iPhone.
The technology in ABTraceTogether has been successfully used in Singapore, Australia and other places to stop the spread of COVID19. And while any app is only one small part of the fight against COVID19, ABTraceTogether remains an effective public health tool.
Thank you,

The Village has a stainless steel mailbox way on the left of the Canada Post mailboxes at the Noyes Store. Lately, all sorts of mail have been dropped in this mailbox - this is a FINAL REMINDER that this mail will not be forwarded. This mailbox is strictly for Sandy Beach tax payments ONLY.
Standstone Vacuum Services payments should be mailed directly to the vendor by putting the envelope into the CANADA POST mail slots. Christmas Cards should be dropped in the Canada Post mailboxes and so should anything that is your mail, unless it is a tax payment to Sandy Beach.
This mailbox is not checked on a regular basis and your mail will be your own liability.
This is a final reminder.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Good morning,
As mentioned in our meeting last week, we would like to request that all municipalities encourage their residents to download the secure ABTraceTogether app. Unlike the federal app, ABTraceTogether is directly integrated with Alberta’s contact tracing system. Notification of exposure is left to health experts to follow up directly with those at risk, support them in their recovery and ensure they isolate. In the time since ABTraceTogether launched, we have made a number of improvements. We updated the app in September to address any privacy concerns and allow it to run in the background on IOS. It can detect interactions between two iPhones while the app is in the background or on a locked iPhone.
The technology in ABTraceTogether has been successfully used in Singapore, Australia and other places to stop the spread of COVID19. And while any app is only one small part of the fight against COVID19, ABTraceTogether remains an effective public health tool.
Thank you,
Alberta Health Emergency Operations Center

Good morning,
As mentioned in our meeting last week, we would like to request that all municipalities encourage their residents to download the secure ABTraceTogether app. Unlike the federal app, ABTraceTogether is directly integrated with Alberta’s contact tracing system. Notification of exposure is left to health experts to follow up directly with those at risk, support them in their recovery and ensure they isolate. In the time since ABTraceTogether launched, we have made a number of improvements. We updated the app in September to address any privacy concerns and allow it to run in the background on IOS. It can detect interactions between two iPhones while the app is in the background or on a locked iPhone.
The technology in ABTraceTogether has been successfully used in Singapore, Australia and other places to stop the spread of COVID19. And while any app is only one small part of the fight against COVID19, ABTraceTogether remains an effective public health tool.

Do NOT phone or contact us 5 minutes prior - make sure you set up a meeting well in advance so the necessary arrangements can be made.
Good morning,
As mentioned in our meeting last week, we would like to request that all municipalities encourage their residents to download the secure ABTraceTogether app. Unlike the federal app, ABTraceTogether is directly integrated with Alberta’s contact tracing system. Notification of exposure is left to health experts to follow up directly with those at risk, support them in their recovery and ensure they isolate. In the time since ABTraceTogether launched, we have made a number of improvements. We updated the app in September to address any privacy concerns and allow it to run in the background on IOS. It can detect interactions between two iPhones while the app is in the background or on a locked iPhone.
The technology in ABTraceTogether has been successfully used in Singapore, Australia and other places to stop the spread of COVID19. And while any app is only one small part of the fight against COVID19, ABTraceTogether remains an effective public health tool.
Thank you,

Good morning,
As mentioned in our meeting last week, we would like to request that all municipalities encourage their residents to download the secure ABTraceTogether app. Unlike the federal app, ABTraceTogether is directly integrated with Alberta’s contact tracing system. Notification of exposure is left to health experts to follow up directly with those at risk, support them in their recovery and ensure they isolate. In the time since ABTraceTogether launched, we have made a number of improvements. We updated the app in September to address any privacy concerns and allow it to run in the background on IOS. It can detect interactions between two iPhones while the app is in the background or on a locked iPhone.
The technology in ABTraceTogether has been successfully used in Singapore, Australia and other places to stop the spread of COVID19. And while any app is only one small part of the fight against COVID19, ABTraceTogether remains an effective public health tool.
Thank you,

This is for interested community members - Tamarack is our health advisory council
The Tamarack Health Advisory Council (HAC) invite local and area residents to participate in one of two virtual training sessions: Transform Your Stress: The Resilience Advantage - Strategies for Managing Stress in Challenging Times for residents in the Tamarack region.
The Transform Your Stress training is free and is designed for everyone, including professionals and community members. Since the onset of COVID-19, many Albertans have identified feeling stressed. This online introductory webinar provides a basic discussion of stress and looks at different ways to manage it, including two HeartMath® breathing techniques.
The goal for this event is to build awareness of the psychosocial factors that can help people to be psychologically healthy and safe. It is hoped that through this workshop participants will build an understanding of the impact of emotions on the body and how to develop an action plan to address their own stress.
We hope you will join us for one of these free sessions and be part of a community effort to improve the wellness of our friends, family and colleagues across the region. These free sessions will be held by Zoom, participants must pre-register using the links below.

Good morning,
As mentioned in our meeting last week, we would like to request that all municipalities encourage their residents to download the secure ABTraceTogether app. Unlike the federal app, ABTraceTogether is directly integrated with Alberta’s contact tracing system. Notification of exposure is left to health experts to follow up directly with those at risk, support them in their recovery and ensure they isolate. In the time since ABTraceTogether launched, we have made a number of improvements. We updated the app in September to address any privacy concerns and allow it to run in the background on IOS. It can detect interactions between two iPhones while the app is in the background or on a locked iPhone.
The technology in ABTraceTogether has been successfully used in Singapore, Australia and other places to stop the spread of COVID19. And while any app is only one small part of the fight against COVID19, ABTraceTogether remains an effective public health tool.
Thank you,
Alberta Health Emergency Operations Center

Good morning,
As mentioned in our meeting last week, we would like to request that all municipalities encourage their residents to download the secure ABTraceTogether app. Unlike the federal app, ABTraceTogether is directly integrated with Alberta’s contact tracing system. Notification of exposure is left to health experts to follow up directly with those at risk, support them in their recovery and ensure they isolate. In the time since ABTraceTogether launched, we have made a number of improvements. We updated the app in September to address any privacy concerns and allow it to run in the background on IOS. It can detect interactions between two iPhones while the app is in the background or on a locked iPhone.
The technology in ABTraceTogether has been successfully used in Singapore, Australia and other places to stop the spread of COVID19. And while any app is only one small part of the fight against COVID19, ABTraceTogether remains an effective public health tool.
Thank you,
Alberta Health Emergency Operations Center

Good morning,
As mentioned in our meeting last week, we would like to request that all municipalities encourage their residents to download the secure ABTraceTogether app. Unlike the federal app, ABTraceTogether is directly integrated with Alberta’s contact tracing system. Notification of exposure is left to health experts to follow up directly with those at risk, support them in their recovery and ensure they isolate. In the time since ABTraceTogether launched, we have made a number of improvements. We updated the app in September to address any privacy concerns and allow it to run in the background on IOS. It can detect interactions between two iPhones while the app is in the background or on a locked iPhone.
The technology in ABTraceTogether has been successfully used in Singapore, Australia and other places to stop the spread of COVID19. And while any app is only one small part of the fight against COVID19, ABTraceTogether remains an effective public health tool.
Thank you,
Alberta Health Emergency Operations Center

Good morning,
As mentioned in our meeting last week, we would like to request that all municipalities encourage their residents to download the secure ABTraceTogether app. Unlike the federal app, ABTraceTogether is directly integrated with Alberta’s contact tracing system. Notification of exposure is left to health experts to follow up directly with those at risk, support them in their recovery and ensure they isolate. In the time since ABTraceTogether launched, we have made a number of improvements. We updated the app in September to address any privacy concerns and allow it to run in the background on IOS. It can detect interactions between two iPhones while the app is in the background or on a locked iPhone.
The technology in ABTraceTogether has been successfully used in Singapore, Australia and other places to stop the spread of COVID19. And while any app is only one small part of the fight against COVID19, ABTraceTogether remains an effective public health tool.

Good morning,
As mentioned in our meeting last week, we would like to request that all municipalities encourage their residents to download the secure ABTraceTogether app. Unlike the federal app, ABTraceTogether is directly integrated with Alberta’s contact tracing system. Notification of exposure is left to health experts to follow up directly with those at risk, support them in their recovery and ensure they isolate. In the time since ABTraceTogether launched, we have made a number of improvements. We updated the app in September to address any privacy concerns and allow it to run in the background on IOS. It can detect interactions between two iPhones while the app is in the background or on a locked iPhone.
The technology in ABTraceTogether has been successfully used in Singapore, Australia and other places to stop the spread of COVID19. And while any app is only one small part of the fight against COVID19, ABTraceTogether remains an effective public health tool.

As mentioned in our meeting last week, we would like to request that all municipalities encourage their residents to download the secure ABTraceTogether app. Unlike the federal app, ABTraceTogether is directly integrated with Alberta’s contact tracing system. Notification of exposure is left to health experts to follow up directly with those at risk, support them in their recovery and ensure they isolate. In the time since ABTraceTogether launched, we have made a number of improvements. We updated the app in September to address any privacy concerns and allow it to run in the background on IOS. It can detect interactions between two iPhones while the app is in the background or on a locked iPhone.
The technology in ABTraceTogether has been successfully used in Singapore, Australia and other places to stop the spread of COVID19. And while any app is only one small part of the fight against COVID19, ABTraceTogether remains an effective public health tool.
Thank you,
Alberta Health Emergency Operations Center

Alberta Government: Learn about the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and actions being taken to protect the health of Albertans. Alberta Health Services: Latest information on COVID-19 for Albertans and Health Care Professionals. Government of Canada: Current cases, the risk to Canadians, monitoring, new and updates. Word Health Organization (WHO): Latest situation updates and data regarding the COVID-19 outbreak. Canada's COVID-19 Economic Response Plan: Support Programs for Canadians COVID-19 Support for Albertans: Immediate relief for AlbertansGood morning,
As mentioned in our meeting last week, we would like to request that all municipalities encourage their residents to download the secure ABTraceTogether app. Unlike the federal app, ABTraceTogether is directly integrated with Alberta’s contact tracing system. Notification of exposure is left to health experts to follow up directly with those at risk, support them in their recovery and ensure they isolate. In the time since ABTraceTogether launched, we have made a number of improvements. We updated the app in September to address any privacy concerns and allow it to run in the background on IOS. It can detect interactions between two iPhones while the app is in the background or on a locked iPhone.
The technology in ABTraceTogether has been successfully used in Singapore, Australia and other places to stop the spread of COVID19. And while any app is only one small part of the fight against COVID19, ABTraceTogether remains an effective public health tool.
Thank you,
Alberta Health Emergency Operations Center

Good morning,
As mentioned in our meeting last week, we would like to request that all municipalities encourage their residents to download the secure ABTraceTogether app. Unlike the federal app, ABTraceTogether is directly integrated with Alberta’s contact tracing system. Notification of exposure is left to health experts to follow up directly with those at risk, support them in their recovery and ensure they isolate. In the time since ABTraceTogether launched, we have made a number of improvements. We updated the app in September to address any privacy concerns and allow it to run in the background on IOS. It can detect interactions between two iPhones while the app is in the background or on a locked iPhone.
The technology in ABTraceTogether has been successfully used in Singapore, Australia and other places to stop the spread of COVID19. And while any app is only one small part of the fight against COVID19, ABTraceTogether remains an effective public health tool.
Thank you,

COVID-19 Self-Assessment

Alberta Government: Learn about the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and actions being taken to protect the health of Albertans. Alberta Health Services: Latest information on COVID-19 for Albertans and Health Care Professionals. Government of Canada: Current cases, the risk to Canadians, monitoring, new and updates.

Canada's COVID-19 Economic Response Plan: Support Programs for Canadians COVID-19 Support for Albertans: Immediate relief for AlbertansApril 8 @ 5.30pm
With immediate effect Alexander First Nation has suspended all travel through privileges (on ALL their roads/checkpoints) to everyone who does not live in the nation. This health order is being upheld not only to protect non-residents, the residents of Sandy Beach, but also ALL Alexander First Nation's residents, their families, children, elders, knowledge-keepers, essential staff and elected officials as well.
RR12 through Sunrise Beach is by far the best, shortest and easiest way to get to the Stony Plain end in anyway (please follow all current health orders, wherever you are in Alberta, and wear a mask).
Good morning,
As mentioned in our meeting last week, we would like to request that all municipalities encourage their residents to download the secure ABTraceTogether app. Unlike the federal app, ABTraceTogether is directly integrated with Alberta’s contact tracing system. Notification of exposure is left to health experts to follow up directly with those at risk, support them in their recovery and ensure they isolate. In the time since ABTraceTogether launched, we have made a number of improvements. We updated the app in September to address any privacy concerns and allow it to run in the background on IOS. It can detect interactions between two iPhones while the app is in the background or on a locked iPhone.
The technology in ABTraceTogether has been successfully used in Singapore, Australia and other places to stop the spread of COVID19. And while any app is only one small part of the fight against COVID19, ABTraceTogether remains an effective public health tool.
Thank you,
Alberta Health Emergency Operations Center

Good morning,
As mentioned in our meeting last week, we would like to request that all municipalities encourage their residents to download the secure ABTraceTogether app. Unlike the federal app, ABTraceTogether is directly integrated with Alberta’s contact tracing system. Notification of exposure is left to health experts to follow up directly with those at risk, support them in their recovery and ensure they isolate. In the time since ABTraceTogether launched, we have made a number of improvements. We updated the app in September to address any privacy concerns and allow it to run in the background on IOS. It can detect interactions between two iPhones while the app is in the background or on a locked iPhone.
The technology in ABTraceTogether has been successfully used in Singapore, Australia and other places to stop the spread of COVID19. And while any app is only one small part of the fight against COVID19, ABTraceTogether remains an effective public health tool.
Thank you,
Alberta Health Emergency Operations Center

Good morning,
As mentioned in our meeting last week, we would like to request that all municipalities encourage their residents to download the secure ABTraceTogether app. Unlike the federal app, ABTraceTogether is directly integrated with Alberta’s contact tracing system. Notification of exposure is left to health experts to follow up directly with those at risk, support them in their recovery and ensure they isolate. In the time since ABTraceTogether launched, we have made a number of improvements. We updated the app in September to address any privacy concerns and allow it to run in the background on IOS. It can detect interactions between two iPhones while the app is in the background or on a locked iPhone.
The technology in ABTraceTogether has been successfully used in Singapore, Australia and other places to stop the spread of COVID19. And while any app is only one small part of the fight against COVID19, ABTraceTogether remains an effective public health tool.
Thank you,

As mentioned in our meeting last week, we would like to request that all municipalities encourage their residents to download the secure ABTraceTogether app. Unlike the federal app, ABTraceTogether is directly integrated with Alberta’s contact tracing system. Notification of exposure is left to health experts to follow up directly with those at risk, support them in their recovery and ensure they isolate. In the time since ABTraceTogether launched, we have made a number of improvements. We updated the app in September to address any privacy concerns and allow it to run in the background on IOS. It can detect interactions between two iPhones while the app is in the background or on a locked iPhone.
The technology in ABTraceTogether has been successfully used in Singapore, Australia and other places to stop the spread of COVID19. And while any app is only one small part of the fight against COVID19, ABTraceTogether remains an effective public health tool.
Thank you,
Alberta Health Emergency Operations Center
