B.C.’s largest Indigenous government announces vaccine mandate – Vancouver Is Awesome
The Métis Nation of British Columbia supports over 90,000 self-declared Métis people in the province through several regional offices.
The Métis Nation of British Columbia (MNBC) — the largest Indigenous government in the province — announced it would be rolling out a mandatory vaccination policy for all employees and visitors to its office.
The new rule will take effect Oct. 4. By Nov. 15, staff who can’t provide proof of a double vaccination will be placed on unpaid leave.
“We need to do our part to help get us through the last leg of this pandemic,” says MNBC’s CEO and deputy minister Daniel Fontaine. “We support the science on the vaccines.”
