Certain employees for the Town of Smithers will need to provide proof of vaccination to continue working.
Earlier this year, the Federal Government put their own mandate in place saying all Federal employees needed to be vaccinated by this week.
Because of this, Smithers Councilors voted in favour of a vaccine mandate covering employees of the Town’s RCMP detachment, Fire and Rescue, Emergency Support Services, and the airport.
After extensive consultations with human rights organizations, the Town ultimately came to the conclusion that the mandate was necessary, given the Federal mandate.
