Families,

On Monday, October 4, the Provincial Proof of Vaccination Protocol will be introduced in Nova Scotia. This protocol applies to school-related extracurricular events and activities that happen outside the regular school day, including sports.

You may have questions about what this means for students involved in extracurricular activities at our schools. Click the follwing link for more information. https://backtoschool.ednet.ns.ca/resources

Additionally, the province has provided the following resources that may be helpful:

• How to access Nova Scotia COVID-19 Proof of Vaccination: https://novascotia.ca/coronavirus/proof-of-full-vaccination-policy/
• Guide for participants at events & activities:  https://novascotia.ca/coronavirus/docs/proof-full-vaccination-guide-events-activities-en.pdf
• Nova Scotia Coronavirus website:  https://novascotia.ca/coronavirus/

Please note that volunteers and spectators, including parents and guardians, will be required to show COVID-19 proof of vaccination along with an additional piece of ID when attending extracurricular activities outside the school day. This applies to both indoor and outdoor activities.

Thank you for your continued support in keeping our communities and schools safe.

Stay well,
