BC Vaccine Card Requirements for City of Kimberley Venues

Posted:

In light of recent orders announced by the Provincial Health Officer, the City of Kimberley will be requiring patrons aged 22+ to show their BC Vaccine Card at some Civic Centre events and sporting activities.  After careful review by City staff, it has been determined that:

Proof of Vaccination IS required for:

  • Indoor adult group and team sports for people 22 years old or older;
  • Indoor organized group recreational classes and activities with more than 50 people;
  • Spectators at indoor youth sporting events with more than 50 people.

Proof of Vaccination is NOT required for:

  • Indoor youth recreational sport for people 21 years old or younger such as minor hockey and figure skating;
  • Spectators at indoor youth sporting events with less then 50 people;
  • Indoor organized events with less than 50 people, except adult sports;
  • The Aquatic Centre. Swimming pools have been deemed as a low risk for transmission of the COVID-19 virus and therefore are exempt from requiring proof of vaccination;
  • Visiting City Hall.

Masks remain mandatory for all indoor City facilities for those aged 12+.
