New proof of vaccination requirements at arenas in Quinte West
QUINTE WEST, Dec. 15, 2021 – New proof of vaccination requirements and capacity restrictions from the Government of Ontario will come into effect over the next month at the Duncan McDonald Memorial Community Gardens in Trenton and the Dr. McMullen Recreation Centre in Frankford.
Starting Dec. 20, 2021, proof of vaccination is required for youth ages 12 to 17 participating in organized sports at the facilities.
Starting Jan. 4, 2022, staff will check vaccination status using the Verify Ontario app. Proof of vaccination must include a printed or digital QR code. Vaccine certificates with QR codes can be downloaded at https://covid-19.ontario.ca/get-proof/.
These additional requirements from the Government of Ontario could lead to longer wait times for admission to the facilities. Visitors to the facilities are encouraged to have their vaccine certificate with QR code and ID ready upon entry. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these changes.
