In a press release on Thursday, the regional district said the change will take place immediately, pending possible provincial public health orders.
Regarding elected officials, the regional district said “if elected officials choose not to be vaccinated, however, they will be required to work remotely where possible.”If they are unable to work remotely, unvaccinated elected directors will be required to wear a mask while in regional district facilities and on CSRD business.
The regional district’s vaccination policy, though, remains in place for all current CSRD employees and newly hired workers. “It was also noted that suspending the policy reflected the position of most fire department members, who expressed that they were in favour of working with unvaccinated firefighters.“This was, in part, because firefighters train for a short duration each week and much of this training takes place outdoors.
