FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Vecova’s commitment to reducing the impact of the COVID-19 fourth wave

Vecova to implement Restriction Exemption Program and mandatory vaccinations for employees, volunteers and contractors

Calgary, Alberta (September 18, 2021). In response to the current stage of the pandemic, Vecova is announcing the implementation of Alberta’s Restriction Exemption Program (REP) and a mandatory vaccination policy for all employees, volunteers, students and contractors.

Vecova has consistently done its part to ensure the health and safety of our community throughout this pandemic. As a social purpose-driven organization, Vecova has a duty to ensure that our workplaces are safe for employees, volunteers and individuals accessing Vecova’s programs, services and enterprises. Vecova is choosing to model for our community the role that every individual can play in ensuring the safety of others.

We must take this leadership role at this critical time to do our part to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on our employees, our operations and the individuals who depend on us every day, many of whom are at higher risk to severe outcomes – seniors, persons with disabilities and people with pre-existing health conditions.

This is simply the right thing to do.

Details of the implementation of the Restriction Exemption Program and the mandatory vaccination policy is available at vecova.ca/fourthwave.
