Vaccine Passport Policy
The government of Ontario, in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health, are requiring people to be fully vaccinated and provide proof of their vaccination status to access certain businesses starting September 22, 2021. This mandate applies to the Rock and Rope Climbing Centre and its members who are 12 years and older. Exemptions from the Vaccine Passport requirements have been granted to people with medical exemptions and to participants in the following Youth Programs:
- Spider Monkey and Chimps
- The Teen Climbing Club
- The Athlete Development Program
- TEAM Rock and Rope
Medical Exemptions
It is the participants/members/spectators responsibility to provide a written document, completed and supplied by a physician (designated as “MD”) or by a registered nurse in the extended class (designated as “Registered Nurse (Extended Class)”, “RN(EC)”, “Nurse Practitioner” or “NP”) stating that the individual is exempt for a medical reason from being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and the effective time-period for the medical reason.
How it works
- Individuals who are 12 years and older, unless otherwise exempted, will provide either a paper or digital copy of their vaccination receipt that demonstrates they are fully vaccinated.
- You will only be required to provide proof of vaccine once. We will update your profile to indicate your vaccine status.
- Participants with a medical exemption will be permitted entry without proof of vaccination.
- Masks are still required.
- Climbing is by appointment only
- Day Passes are not available at this time
