High River's COVID-19 assessment centre, is now an Okotoks test centre.

Alberta Health Services shut down the site at the Bob Snodgrass Recreation Complex in High River last week, moving it to Okotoks where it will begin testing residents Wednesday, September 16.

AHS says the reason for the move was dropping demand in High River, while they expect more people to take advantage of it in Okotoks with its larger population.

The assessment centre is located at 200 Southridge Dr., units 200-201 in what used to be the Okotoks Natural Foods Market near Tim Hortons.

It's open Monday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. by appointment only
