Update on Proof of Vaccination Requirements

We would like to confirm that as per the government announcement on Friday, the exemption from the requirement to provide proof of vaccination in recreation facilities for youth aged 12-17 will be rescinded on December 20, 2021. This will now be consistent across the province. Please see the links to the announcement below.
