“As more employees return to their regular workplaces later in the fall, this provides an additional and reassuring layer of protection for workers who are continuing the vital work of serving British Columbians,” reads a statement from the BC Government.

Full proof of vaccination will be needed through the BC Vaccine Card.

Accommodations for the “few people who are unable to be vaccinated” will be released in early November.
