Other cities such as the City of Guelph, Waterloo and Kitchener have updated their proof of COVID-19 vaccination requirements for people entering indoor facilities, in the wake of Ontario government requirements announced Dec. 10.
Wellington county towns and townships have not yet updated their proof of COVID-19 vaccination requirements for people entering municipality facilities yet. Centre Wellington Township was the first to announce their update.
Everyone 12 and older – except those with a valid medical exemption – entering recreation facilities will be required to:
- Show proof of vaccination via the QR code version
- Show government identification (a picture or legible photocopy is acceptable)
- Complete the COVID-19 health screening
- Complete the contact-tracing form
