The first public health order is out (a full day after coming into effect...it is problematic to be bound by legal obligations that you don't yet have access to). This one doesn't address businesses, even though they will be bound by restrictions starting on the 27th. /1
So they have little time to understand their legal obligations and prepare. Notably, many people seemed to think that the business restrictions apply across the province. They don't. They apply in purple areas. /2 
A person in a private residence can't permit a person who doesn't normally reside there to enter, with a bunch of reasonable exceptions (health care, co-parenting, housekeeping, child care, repairs, etc). /3
Another exception is people who live alone. There was tons of confusion about this, but here's the exact language in the order. They can have two contacts come over to their house (but it has to be the same for the entire duration of the order so choose wisely!). /4
Confusingly, it seems that while you can only have two people over, if those people host you, it doesn't specify that they must be the only people there. This is difficult to reconcile with some of the gov's messaging suggesting that you can only have two contacts. /5
There are also limits on gatherings. Funeral/wedding ceremonies 10 people. No receptions. It also limits private social gatherings (indoors=your household or solo person+2 pals; outdoors=10 people). /6
However, private social gatherings are defined as when people "come together and move freely around...rather than remaining seated or stationary." This suggests that you could have a large number of people over to hang out in your yard so long as everyone doesn't move. /7
In particular areas of the province (see above) churches must be at 1/3 capacity w/masks. Want to test out the Sweden immunity theory? Try attending a packed rural church. /8
Finally in Calgary/Edmonton and surrounding areas, masks must be worn in indoor public places (indoor locations where businesses or entities operate), subject to exceptions (eg kids under 2, eating, exercising, alone at a workstation, for medical purposes, etc). Fin. /9
