Eight weeks after an Alberta-based business was forced to close its doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the company has created an innovative way to virtually serve the public — and bring their staff back to work.
Laser City has launched a new online day camp service for both its Edmonton and Calgary locations, offering virtual Minecraft sessions to help keep children entertained amid the pandemic. “In early April, a few weeks after we closed, we sent out a survey to our customers asking what challenges they and their kids were facing,” owner of the company, Rob Davy, said in a news release on Thursday. “A big part of what we heard back was that kids were missing talking to other kids, as well as having little to look forward to each day.”
