Clarington introduces workplace COVID-19 Vaccination Policy for all staff

Clarington, Ontario –  The Municipality of Clarington is releasing the following statement on behalf of Andrew Allison, Chief Administrative Officer.

“To help provide a safe working environment for all our employees as well as the community we serve, the Municipality is implementing a workplace COVID-19 Vaccination Policy. All Clarington employees, including full-time, part-time, temporary, contract, casual and students, will have to disclose their vaccination status by October 20, 2021, and present proof of full vaccination by December 20, 2021. The Municipality will recognize and respect its obligations under the Ontario Human Rights Code, granting exemptions and accommodations to staff with valid legal reasons that would prevent them from obtaining vaccination. This approach supports our ongoing commitment to Public Health as we provide safe, critical services to our community.

~Andrew Allison, Chief Administrative Officer, Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington.
