Not closed yet. So far just a recommendation.

https://www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?x...E6B0D96030899A

Low river flows prompt advisory for Alberta anglers

Anglers are requested to voluntarily restrict angling activities to early mornings because of significantly low river flows and higher-than-normal water temperatures so fish experience less stress.
These conditions are threatening the health of Alberta’s fish populations and anglers should follow safe handling procedures related to catch-and-release fishing to minimize fish mortality.

While anglers should always be mindful of river conditions and follow regulations, they should exercise additional caution when fishing in zones along the Eastern Slopes (zones ES1 and 2).To minimize risk to fish in these zones, anglers are encouraged to:

fish in stocked ponds and lakes
fish between midnight and 2 p.m.
minimize handling time and release fish as quickly as possible
Alberta Environment and Parks manages angling-related risks to fish during low-flow events. It monitors stream conditions and may implement angling restrictions if necessary.

Anglers are encouraged to download the Alberta Rivers app to get up-to-date information on flows and advisories for basins in their area. Anglers are also advised to visit the MyWildAlberta website for information on changing water conditions.

Looks like some idiot is circulating a 2015 closure report from global news.

Idiots.

After spending a week on many Southern waters I wouldn't be surprised to see them closed. +30 every afternoon. Water temps pushing 20 by 2pm. It was like wading in bath water.

No one is being forced off the waters yet but the recommendation they have provided is a good one.
