It looks like Ontario may be moving forward on its proof of vaccination plans. The province is set to announce the new requirements, which will require you to show proof of your COVID-19 vaccination status to access many non-essential businesses, sources told CTV News Toronto on Wednesday morning.
The new rules will apparently go into effect on September 22nd and will be mandatory for places like gyms, movie theatres and to dine indoors. It’ll also be a requirement to go to big ticketed events, like concerts and sporting events.
Many organizations and festivals, including TIFF and MLSE, have already announced that guests must be fully vaccinated to attend in-person screenings and Raptors games this year.
