In-person attendance requirements

All attendees, exhibitors, presenters, and Chiefs of Ontario employees at the Chiefs of Ontario – Annual Chiefs Assembly must verify that they have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. The Chiefs of Ontario will check for proof of vaccination using the Verify Ontario app to scan for proof of vaccination at entry.

A person is considered fully vaccinated in Ontario if they have received either of the following:

• the full series of a COVID-19 vaccine authorized by Health Canada, or any combination of such vaccines (two doses of Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, AstraZeneca, including COVISHIELD) in any combination or one dose of Janssen (Johnson & Johnson)

• one or two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine not authorized by Health followed by one dose of a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine authorized by Health Canada

• three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine not authorized by Health Canada

• a final dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days before providing the proof of being fully vaccinated.

All attendees, exhibitors, presenters and COO employees, must show a paper or digital, government-issued enhanced vaccine certificate with a QR code. If an attendee or exhibitor does not meet these requirements, they are not considered fully vaccinated and will not be permitted to attend the Chiefs of Ontario – Annual Chiefs Assembly in-person.

Given the numbers of individuals coming from across Ontario, we strongly encourage participants to wear masks (KN95, N95, or surgical masks) throughout the event.

Ontario’s vaccine certificate with QR code is an electronic record of your COVID-19 vaccination. To access your COVID-19 vaccine certificate, please visit: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/get-proof/. To learn more about the Verify Ontario mobile app, please visit: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/verify.
