As you can see Chestermere has continued to lead in its very rate of COVID19 infections at increase not that different from the Calgary region and the Province of Alberta as a whole.  It would be reasonable to think that a place like Chestermere, with all its advantages, would learn from its mistakes earlier than other jurisdictions and be in a better place… apparently not.

The only way to make Chestermere look reasonable is to consider the United States as the UK has done a great job of pulling back their active cases.
