On February 14, the Province of Ontario announced they will remove capacity limits and proof of vaccination requirements in all remaining settings beginning March 1.
4-H Ontario currently has a policy that states, “while 4-H is not requiring youth or volunteers to be vaccinated to be in the 4-H program, proof of vaccination is required to attend indoor 4-H events.” The Ontario 4-H Council Board of Directors will be meeting on March 3 and will discuss this policy at that time.
More information about the policy and potential updates will be shared on Monday March 7 via email and the news section of the 4-H Ontario website.
