CANADA – University of Waterloo bars unvaxxed high school students from tournament
Two Ontario high school students who have chosen not to get COVID shots have been banned from competing at a tournament hosted by the University of Waterloo, with two vaccinated students set to take their place.
“Acting on advice from public health experts, instructions from government as well as legislation, and rooted in various relevant University policies, the University of Waterloo requires all students, employees and visitors to provide proof of being vaccinated against COVID-19 in any indoor facility such as Columbia Icefield gym or the Field House,” the correspondence reads.
“This proof of vaccination requirement remains in place until May 1, 2022 as part of the overall health and safety requirements of the University and in recognition of the continuing role of vaccination as a key defence in the ongoing management of COVID-19.”
