WHAT'S NEW
Commercial carriers have until June 28, 2022, to renew their Safety Fitness Certificate or risk losing their ability to operate legally.
The government of Alberta is extending a deadline for carriers to renew their Safety Fitness Certificate or risk losing their ability to operate legally.
Alberta Transportation introduced new driver safety initiatives in 2019 and the Commercial Vehicle Certificate and Insurance Regulation was changed so that all Safety Fitness Certificates (SFC) issued prior to March 1, 2019 would expire on February 28, 2022. Prior to March 2019, all SFCs were issued as “Continuous” and did not expire. This change ensures more regular oversight with commercial carriers to ensure ongoing compliance with safety requirements.
To allow commercial carriers enough time to renew, the government is extending the deadline to June 28, 2022.
Carriers that do not renew their SFC prior to June 28, 2022 will have their certificate cancelled and cannot legally operate in Alberta. Carriers with an expired certificate will need to re-apply and may be required to complete the Pre-Entry Program for commercial carriers.

SFCs can be renewed online at https://www.sfoa.trans.gov.ab.ca/sfoa_prd/pages/welcomeSfcRenewalApplication.seam.

Visiting Alberta's Provincial Parks & Protected Areas
If you're visiting Alberta's Provincial Parks and Protected Areas, please follow these essential steps for responsible recreation:
- Check for advisories on www.AlbertaParks.ca and the weather forecast right before you leave.
- Visit early in the day, so you can head somewhere else if a parking lot is full. Parking is permitted in designated areas only.
- Research your destination and be prepared to not have cell service, especially in the mountains.
- Bring proper footwear, extra layers of clothing, protection from the elements and insects, a flashlight or headlamp, adequate food and water, and a first aid kit.
- Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times and their waste must be packed out or buried.
- Leave no trace. Do not pick or collect wildflowers or other vegetation including deadfall. Do not litter; this includes cigarette butts, seed shells and tissue.
- Be BearSmart. Carry bear spray year-round and know how to use it.
- Campfires are only permitted in the facilities provided. Never leave your campfire unattended. Ensure it is completely out before retiring for the night and before leaving your campsite. Soak it, stir it and soak it again. Always check AlbertaParks.ca/FireBans for current fire bans or restrictions.
