Whoop-Up Days is nearly here and organizers at Exhibition Park are taking protocols seriously to ensure a safe and healthy experience.
Due to construction at the grounds, scheduling, and planning an event coming out of pandemic restrictions, things will look a little bit different.
While entering the grounds this year, guests will be screened for flu symptoms and undergo a temperature check.
The AHS vaccination clinic will be open for walk-in vaccinations in the West Pavilion on Friday, Sept. 3 and Saturday, Sept. 4 from 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
Exhibition Park is also encouraging public health recommendations for all who are visiting the venue both indoors and outdoors:
- Lethbridge & District Exhibition staff will be required to take a mandatory rapid screen test each day from September 2-5 to begin their shift with a negative screen result.
- Lethbridge & District Exhibition staff will be required to wear masks indoors and outdoors while on shift and interacting with guests.
- We have increased our communications to staff to reinforce the importance of personal preventative measures such as staying home when ill, wearing PPE and proper handwashing.
- Additional hand sanitization stations will be placed throughout the venue and exhibition grounds.
- High contact areas are consistently monitored for cleanliness. Cleaning and housekeeping staff will sanitize commonly touched areas including Pavilion door handles, railings, washrooms and portable outhouses.
- Signage will be placed throughout the venue to remind our guests of personal preventive measures they can take to avoid the spread of germs.
Whoop-Up Days runs from Sept. 2-5 and admission is free.
Parking on-site will also be free but will be extremely limited because of construction.
