NORTH PERTH – The Municipality of North Perth announced on Thursday that it will require proof of vaccination for all patrons of municipally-operated recreation facilities and meeting places in compliance with the Government of Ontario’s forthcoming mandate that comes into effect on Sept. 22, 2021.
All patrons 12 years of age and older will need to present vaccination proof documents along with proof of identification upon accessing these facilities.
The following will be exempted from these requirements:
Individuals who cannot receive the vaccine due to medical exemptions will be permitted entry with a valid note from a registered physician or nurse practitioner only until recognized medical exemptions can be integrated as part of a digital vaccination certificate;
Children under 12 who are currently unable to receive the vaccination due to age restrictions will also be exempted from these requirements; or
Individuals who are under 18 years of age, and who are entering the recreation facility used for sports and recreational fitness activities solely for the purpose of actively participating in an organized sport, in accordance with guidance published by the Ministry of Health on its website for the purposes of this provision.
To obtain a vaccination receipt, individuals can download or print their vaccine report from the provincial booking portal at covid19.ontariohealth.ca or by calling the Provincial Vaccine Booking Line at 1-833-943-3900. Individuals requiring assistance to print their vaccine report can contact the North Perth Public Library at 519-291-4621.
