Garage sales discouraged, but not banned, in Red Deer

Apr 30, 2020 | 1:25 PM

The City of Red Deer says residents are strongly discouraged from having garage sales and yard sales at this time.

While there has been no official direction from the province regarding these types of events, specifically, the City says there are many precautions someone hosting a sale would need to take.

“Should residents decide to hold a garage sale, they must do so in accordance with all public health orders, including but not limited to physical distancing and appropriate access to hand washing stations,” says Tara Shand, Public Information Officer.

Other communities have put out similar messaging, while across Canada, municipalities like Millet, Alberta, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and Brampton, Ontario, have outright banned such sales.
