- ACSLPA’s new Vaccination Policy was presented to Council. This Occupational Health and Safety policy requires all ACSLPA staff to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 by January 1st unless they are unable to be vaccinated due to reasons protected by the Alberta Human Rights Act. The policy also applies to volunteers, service providers and visitors attending the ACSLPA offices or an ACSLPA event for more than 15 minutes, but non-staff have the option of a negative Covid-19 test result (test criteria consistent with Alberta’s Restrictions Exemption Program). All reasonable efforts will be made to offer virtual options for volunteers’ participation in meetings. If you have any questions about this new ACSLPA policy, please call the office for more information.
