The city of Williams Lake’s COVID-19 mandatory vaccination policy is one of the first matters of business for the newly-elected council.

On Jan. 14, 2022 the city made its mandatory vaccine policy effective for employees, council members, contractors and volunteer firefighters.

During the committee of the whole meeting Tuesday, Nov. 8, council discussed the policy.

From that meeting the council made the recommendation “that council communicate their intent to rescind the COVID-19 Mandatory Vaccine Policy pending a report from staff on the operational impacts and changes required.”

The recommendation was received at the regular meeting Tuesday, Nov. 15.

Staff will prepare a report and bring it back to council.
