EDMONTON—Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says he'll announce “a final decision” this Saturday on whether to proceed with the second phase of the province’s pandemic reopening plan.

Kenney says on social media it will be “a prudent decision based on the latest data” and that “damaging restrictions should not last one day longer than necessary to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed.”
