Officials say while many events have been cancelled and centres have been closed in Calgary, the provincial park remains open to visitors.

"Time spent outdoors – on your own or even with others – is still possible, and highly encouraged. Exercise, sunshine, fresh air, these are all things that support our health and overall well-being, and at times such as these, we can’t do enough to keep ourselves healthy."

The society also says that many of the programs advertised on its website are also expected to go ahead as planned.

"Since many of our programs take place outdoors, the risks associated with coronavirus are much reduced, and we feel that it is important to continue offering public programming when we can."

However, some individual programs and volunteer opportunities may still be cancelled in the coming days and officials say those will be determined on a case-by-case basis
