Organizers announced they would postpone another fundraising event in Wood Buffalo.
The Local HERO Foundation said they would reschedule its ‘Big Island Luau’ on May 2, 2020, to a later date.
This followed the recommendation of Alberta’s chief medical officer of health, Dr Deena Hinshaw, over COVID-19 or coronavirus concerns.
