As the sun sets beautifully in a socially distant Edmonton River Valley, Albertans enters into Stage 1 of its re-opening, hoping that it’s the beginning of the end of such social distancing. The province will also hope that it’s at the beginning of the end of the COVID-19 pandemic and its restrictions as cases come down, while vaccinations go up.
