City of Edmonton manager Andre Corbould confirms that:

- City will require proof of vaccine/negative test at all city facilities

- City will require employees to be vaccinated (or they workers can pay for regularly testing out of pocket)

#yeg #yyc #ableg #covid19ab
Corbould says front line staff who would be taking payments/passes are the ones who will be looking at passports.

Early reports have Edmontonians being patients and supportive, high 90s in compliance so far.
Corbould can't say anything about the percentage of which documents are being used today, but they accept any legit options like your vaccine receipt or vax passport.

Kenney Facebook live!

Q- You need to stop open and closing, you're hurting people's mental health?

A- Kenney says that's one of the reasons Alberta has treated restrictions as a last resort, unlike say Australia and NZ hard lockdowns.
Kenney knows everyone wants predictability - which is why he erred on the side of caution this summer.

But he says the disease changes, so too does human behaviour.

Adds that 20% unvaxxed adults are the largest part of the hospital crunch.
Q- Do you remember when you said vax passports were illegal?

A - He remembers, but he says he always said there could be exceptions.

Adds he sought legal advice from lawyers about this and they said there can be circumstances that justify a policy framework like this.
