No shows and events will take place at St. Albert's Arden Theatre for the remainder of the year, and the city will be issuing refunds to all ticket holders for previously scheduled events.
On Tuesday afternoon, the City of St. Albert announced all events at the Arden would be cancelled through to Dec. 31, 2020, because of uncertain recovery timelines for cultural facilities and events.
"This is an unfortunate decision to make and we understand many people will be disappointed; however, we must ensure the health and safety of our patrons, artists, staff and volunteers, and ensure we have time to properly implement any new public safety protocols as directed to us by the Province. We want our community to feel confident that when our doors reopen they know every effort has been made to ensure their safety and comfort," stated Kelly Jerrott, the director of community services for the city, in the media release.
The refunds apply to all shows that have been cancelled. Tickets purchased through Ticketmaster will be automatically refunded by that agency. Tickets purchased in-person or over the phone with cash or debit will be refunded by a method of the patron's choosing, based on the options the city can offer.
