LETHBRIDGE, AB – Starting Friday, April 3, there will be no fee for healthcare workers or the general public to park at Alberta Health Services (AHS) facilities.
Many health-care workers and physicians are working from home and others need to work at a variety of sites. Removing parking fees and the need for parking passes will make these transitions easier.
“Health-care workers and the general public should not have to worry about paying for parking in the midst of responding to COVID-19,” says Health Minister Tyler Shandro. “Our government will provide whatever resources are needed to protect Albertans during the COVID-19 emergency.”
The provincial government estimates that this temporary change will result in an estimated loss of parking revenues of $7.6-million per month.
