Proof of Vaccination Policy or Negative Covid-19 Test approved for City facilities

Prince Albert City Council has approved a mandatory proof of vaccination policy for City facilities. The policy comes following a motion of City Council on September 7, 2021 directing Administration to prepare a plan for implementation.

Members of the public that are over 12 years of age entering a City facility must present proof of being fully vaccinated against Covid-19 or negative Covid-19 test result within the last 72 hours starting Wednesday, October 13, 2021.

“We are dealing with some of the highest levels of Covid-19 infection and spread since the start of the pandemic,” said Mayor Greg Dionne. “Vaccines are safe and proven effective at preventing the spread of Covid-19 to others. This policy make us all safer.”

This policy as proposed will apply to City owned facilities including:

City Hall (except the main floor foyer for payments and transactions)
Art Hauser Centre
Alfred Jenkins Field House
Arts Centre
EA Rawlinson Centre for the Arts
Frank J Dunn Pool
Kinsmen Arena

Patrons under 12 years of age are not required to produce any documentation or results.

All other patrons:

Patrons that are under 18 that are entering the facility are required to produce proof of vaccination or test result and identification.
All patrons 18 years or older are required to produce proof of vaccination or test result as well as photo identification.

One of the following must be presented before entry:
