As Alberta entered its first stage of re-opening from the COVID-19 lockdown on May 14, there are still many questions around how companies and organizations can safely return to their physical office spaces and resume normal operations.
With the re-opening underway, CPA Alberta has put together a number of resources that may be of interest to guide CPAs and their organizations. They can be found at the CPA Alberta COVID-19 Online Resource Centre.
