As part of the provincial relaunch, the City of Leduc is offering the following recommendations regarding in-person garage sales. Garage sales are permitted in the City of Leduc, however, we recommend in adherence with provincial guidance that proper physical distancing be maintained (6 feet or 2 metres), masks be worn if physical distancing is not possible, and that provincial capacity restrictions be followed. Please remember that there is still a risk of infection of the COVID-19 virus, and residents are urged to practice caution and take appropriate measures to minimize their risk of exposure in public settings. Further, those holding garage sales are encouraged to follow the recommendations of Alberta Health Services and the Province of Alberta and sanitize those surfaces/items that are frequently touched. Please note: The Province of Alberta website states that individuals found to be in violation of public health orders (such as mass gathering and physical distancing restrictions) may be subject to a $1,000 fine. For complete, up-to-date information about the public health orders and restrictions that are currently in place, please visit www.alberta.ca/covid-19.

No more than 50 people on-site at any given time

Physical distancing of 2 metres must be maintained between visitors who are not members of the same household or cohort family

Common equipment should only be shared between members of the same household or cohort family

Wash or sanitize your hands often and cough/sneeze into your elbow or a tissue
