Dear Clients,

 

As the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation continues to evolve, Accel Professional Corporation has been paying close attention to the current status of the public health situation in Calgary. Our top priority is to maintain the health and safety of both you, the clients, and our team and community, and minimize the spread of the virus. As such, we have followed advice from the

Alberta Health Services (AHS), increasing our office’s sanitization measures and postponing non-essential firm events.

 

As of now, we are fortunately able to continue accepting scheduled appointments. We would like to emphasize that if you would like to meet with us in person, please schedule an appointment in advance. Listed below are some measures and alternatives available to you.
