16 August, 2021

Canada's Ministry of Transport announced (13-Aug-2021) plans to require employees in federally regulated air, rail and marine transportation sectors to be vaccinated by the end of Oct-2021. The vaccination requirement will also extend to certain travellers. Government will engage with key stakeholders, including bargaining agents and transportation sector operators determining how the requirement will be implemented, through confirmation of COVID-19 vaccination and other means of protection including testing when necessary. Government will also require vaccination across the federal public service as early as Sep-2021. [more - original PR]
