Proof of vaccination
All patrons visiting a City community centre must present the Province of Ontario’s enhanced vaccine certificate with a QR code. Download it by visiting covid-19.ontario.ca/get-proof, or call the Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre at 1-833-943-3900 to have your vaccine certificate mailed.
The following proof of identification is acceptable for those aged 18 years and older (note: photo ID is not required):
- Birth certificate
- Citizenship card
- Driver’s licence
- Government (Ontario or other) issued identification card, including health card
- Indian Status Card/Indigenous Membership Card
- Passport
- Permanent Resident card
All individuals aged 12 years and older who are entering an indoor municipal recreation facility, where organized sports are played and/or practiced, must provide identification and proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or a valid medical exemption. In-person campers aged 12 years old must comply with this directive.
The following proof of identification is acceptable for those aged 12 to 17 years:
- Documentation issued by an institution or public body provided it includes their name and date of birth. Examples include:
- Health card
- Library card
- Student ID
Also, children turning 12 years of age in 2022 will have a grace period of 12 weeks from their birthday in which they will not need to show proof of vaccination at indoor sports and recreation facilities. This will allow those who are turning 12 years old to have enough time to get vaccinated.
Individuals who are unable to be fully vaccinated because they have an active medical exemption will need to show their enhanced vaccine certificate with official QR code, along with a piece of ID. A written medical exemption is no longer accepted to access businesses and organizations that require proof of vaccination. To obtain a medical exemption, individuals must:
- ask an Ontario physician or registered nurse in the extended class to submit their exemption request directly to the public health unit where the issuer’s practice is located
- once the exemption is accepted and entered into COVaxON by the public health unit, individuals will be able to access their enhanced vaccine certificate with QR code through the COVID-19 vaccination portal
Those who feel unwell and believe they have symptoms related to COVID-19 should contact York Region Public Health at 1-800-361-5653 or Telehealth Ontario at 1-866-797-0000. For additional information and resources on the virus, visit York Region's website at york.ca/COVID19.
