Under approved circumstances (see below), the stake presidency has authorized the following protocol for use of the Alberta Restrictions Exemption Program (REP) at Church buildings in the Calgary West Stake. Any questions about this protocol may be directed to the Stake Executive Secretary at calgaryweststake@gmail.com
No “Church-sponsored” meetings/activities/gatherings, etc. will implement the Alberta REP. For clarity, a baptismal service is not considered a private event and the REP may not be used.
For Private/Personal events (i.e. non-Church events)
Private/Personal events may choose to implement the Alberta REP, provided they comply with all the following conditions:
i. The private event must be properly requested online & booking confirmed via the Stake Building Scheduler.
All booking requests are submitted online at http://bit.ly/weststakebookings
ii. A specific “REP Contact Person” must be identified for each private event when it is booked.
The booking request will include this contact’s personal information:
a. First & Last Name
b. Cell phone number
c. Email address
iii. Before the private event booking confirmation is issued, the REP Contact Person is required to specifically acknowledge via eSignature via the Stake Building Scheduler that:
a. They will directly oversee the implementation of the Alberta REP in-person; and
b. That the REP process, protocols, etc. will be fully implemented and followed for the entirety of their booking (including before and after the event, as applicable); and
c. They also acknowledge that they are completely responsible for the REP’s implementation for the event; and
d. They also assume full responsibility and liability for any fines or other liabilities if AHS or other enforcement authorities determine there was any non-compliance in connection with the event; and
e. That their contact information will be provided by the stake to AHS, if/when requested for follow-up.
iv. The REP Contact Person will ensure that the most current requirements, process, protocols, etc. are adhered to and implemented as set out on https://alberta.ca/REP (or other official source, as applicable).
v. In the event of multiple bookings in a building, the REP may be implemented in only portions of the building.
vi. Use of the Alberta REP for private events is not required and is by choice of the member booking the event.
vii. As always, the Stake Presidency reserves the right to modify, suspend, and/or cancel building-use and bookings, both private and Church-sponsored, at its sole discretion.
