Lloydminster fans dove into that when they first played in Lloyd at the now-defunct The Root in 2017.

“It was outstanding,” recalled Bailer.

“The Root wasn’t very big and we didn’t know much about it.”

Bailer tells Lloydminster fans if they loved the group 10 years ago, they will not be disappointed when it showtime again at the Vic Juba.

“It’s not like we’ve moved past where our roots are. We’ve just kind of added to it,” said Bailer.

“Albertans have told us this was red tape - we listened and are addressing it. This change will also help make driver’s licences more affordable for Albertans.”

Starting April 1, drivers who have an urgent need to exit the GDL program – needing a non-GDL licence for a job, for example, – ca n go to a registry agent office to confirm their eligibility.

If the registry agent determines a driver is eligible, they will exchange the driver’s GDL licence for a nonGDL driver’s licence free of charge.

On June 25, the Government of Alberta will implement technology that will automatically exit eligible Albertans who have demonstrated safe driving behaviours from GDL drivers to non-GDL status.

GDL drivers must have no suspensions or demerits within their last 12 months of probation, including zero tolerance for any alcohol and/or drug consumption.

Drivers who exhibit poor driving behav - iours and incur demerits, or are ticketed for other unsafe driving offences during the last year of their probation will have their probationary period extended for an additional year.
