On December 23rd, Ringette Ontario (RO) announced an update to their vaccination policy[1] to align with the updated requirements from the Government of Ontario. Waterloo Ringette continues to prioritize the health and safety of our members and will work to ensure compliance procedures are put in place.
The updated policy states:
In order to attend or participate in RO Sanctioned Activities, the Organization requires that all Ringette Ontario Participants who are eligible to receive vaccination, including Players, RO Bench Staff, RO Officials, Minor Officials, Third-Party Contractors and RO Volunteers must show proof of identification and proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to a designated member of their Organization.
At this time, all people aged 5 and older are eligible to be vaccinated.[2] [3] RO is providing a grace period to allow participants to become vaccinated:
Ringette participants who are under the age of 18 have until Monday, January 31st to receive the first dose and until March 14th to receive the second dose to be compliant with the revised Ringette Ontario revised Vaccination Policy.
