the boost comes immediately after the wednesday evening unveiling of alberta’s restrictions exemption program , a vaccine passport system which allows participating businesses to operate without facing capacity limits and other public-health measures. to access those businesses, albertans must present proof of vaccination or a negative covid-19 test procured through the private sector.
