COVID-19 VACCINE UPDATE

With the announcement of mandatory vaccine policies within the developmental services sector in Ontario, Christian Horizons has taken steps to make it easier to report vaccination status. An email will be sent out tomorrow, Friday August 20th, to managers with a link that will allow them to input proof of vaccinations for employees. The link for self reporting is still available and we encourage all employees to use this option when possible.

We are working with industry partners and the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services in order to update of COVID-19 vaccine policy and we will share updates to this policy as they are developed.
