As a reminder, enhanced proof of vaccination and other requirements continue to apply in existing settings. This means ensuring that you’ve gotten your booster shot, and can demonstrate proof of vaccination with a QR code. If you’ve yet to download your vaccine certificate, you can do it on this Province of Ontario website.
This is a welcome change for small businesses who have been long-suffering and deeply impacted by rolling lockdowns. When you are shopping and dining in the coming weeks, I encourage you to consider shopping locally and supporting small businesses.
