Doctor's notes are not covered by Alberta Health Care; a flat documentation fee applies.

What Is an Online Doctor's Note in Lethbridge?
An online doctor's note in Lethbridge is a digitally signed medical document issued by a physician licensed in Alberta after a virtual assessment. For southern Alberta residents — many of whom commute long distances or work seasonal agricultural shifts — the online format avoids hours lost to clinic waiting rooms on Mayor Magrath Drive or 13th Street.
Legally, the note is identical to one issued at the Chinook Regional Hospital outpatient department or any private practice in the city.
- Issued by a CPSA-registered Alberta physician
- Delivered as a signed PDF straight to your email
- Carries the physician's CPSA registration number and signature
- Accepted by U of L, Lethbridge College, and Chinook School Division
When You Need a Sick Note in Lethbridge
Lethbridge's economy mixes agriculture, food processing (including the local Coca-Cola facility), education, and a meaningful population of cross-border commuters travelling to Montana for work. Each of these workplaces has different documentation expectations, but most request a sick note for absences beyond a day or two.
- Missed shifts at Chinook Regional Hospital
- Absence from University of Lethbridge or Lethbridge College classes
- Time off in agriculture, food processing, or seasonal harvest work
- Chinook School Division absence verification
- Recovery for cross-border commuters travelling to Sweet Grass, Montana
What's Included in Your Lethbridge Note

- Confirmation of physician assessment
- Inclusive dates you cannot attend work or school
- Anticipated return-to-work or return-to-class date
- Any temporary work restrictions
- Physician name, CPSA number, signature, and HR verification line

Alberta Employment Standards: Lethbridge Workers' Rights
Section 53.97 of the Alberta Employment Standards Code provides Lethbridge employees with 90 days of continuous service up to five unpaid, job-protected sick days each calendar year. Workers in agriculture, education, and unionised food-processing roles often have additional paid sick leave through collective agreements.
Employers may request medical documentation but not a diagnosis. Our notes respect this distinction.
- 5 unpaid sick days per year, job-protected (ESC s.53.97)
- Eligibility begins after 90 days of continuous employment
- Employer may request a note but not a diagnosis
- Many Lethbridge collective agreements add paid sick leave
