We are calling on the UCP government to immediately work with post-secondary institutions across the province to create clear guidelines on how to safely and effectively implement a vaccine passport system on campus.

The UCP promised to have guidelines for the implementation of the vaccine passport system for publicly funded institutions in place almost three weeks ago, but have failed to deliver.
This comes after Premier Jason Kenney delayed introducing a vaccine passport as COVID cases rose this fall and repeatedly promised never to introduce one, only to backtrack in mid-September.
“The UCP’s delays in introducing a vaccine passport meant that planning work started weeks late and it looks like some of the planning just isn’t being done at all."

The UCP has left these schools scrambling to figure out how to keep their students and staff safe, while taking on the burden of the time and cost it takes to do so.
The NDP is also requesting the UCP provide schools the financial support needed to effectively implement the system after previously cutting $700 million from the sector, as well as expediting the hiring of contact tracers in the province so the burden is lifted off the schools.
