In a statement yesterday, The Holy Trinity Catholic Division announced that they will be implementing a procedure to ensure that all staff are vaccinated or provide a negative COVID-19 test. 

The statement added that this procedure will be in effect for all employees as well as trustees, volunteers, individuals on internships, co-op placements, or apprenticeship programs. 

The move is a direct response to the Province wide vaccine or test requirements that was implemented on October 1, 2021, stating that proof of vaccination or negative test requirements is now implemented for all provincial government and crown corporation employees. 

“Proof of vaccination is not required for students’ in-class learning. If a student is determined to be a close contact, proof of student vaccination or virus-free status will be required for further participation in extra-curricular activities,” The Holy Trinity School Division added in their statement. 

Further information, such as an implementation date is expected to be announced in the following weeks.
