St. Catharines protects employees with new vaccine requirements

  • In an effort to protect not only its employees but also members of the public, the City of St. Catharines will require all City employees to obtain COVID-19 vaccinations.
  • Exceptions will be made for those unable to receive the vaccine due to a Human Rights Code exemption.
  • The City is instituting the policy with a phased-in approach, providing employees who have not yet been vaccinated adequate time to receive two doses.
  • The employee vaccination policy applies to all City employees, students working in the organization and volunteers, with the exception of volunteer members of boards, commissions or advisory committees.
