As of September 22, 2021, proof of vaccination will be required in select higher-risk indoor settings, including indoor dining, bars, and concerts. The vaccine certificate system exempts children who are ineligible for vaccines (currently those born in 2010 and later in Ontario) and provides for personal medical exemptions.
Public libraries are not currently included on the list of settings in which proof of vaccination is required. The Stay Safe Guidelines for Step 3, including masks, self-screening, capacity and physical distancing, continue to apply. We will continue to monitor developments related to vaccination requirements, including provincial legislation and health unit guidelines, and will provide any updates through our website and social media channels.
See the province’s frequently asked questions for more information.
