Access to TRIUMF and mask policies
Please read the "Visitor Safety Guidelines at TRIUMF during the COVID-19 public health emergency" before coming to TRIUMF.
Note that BC has dropped the indoor mask and vaccination card mandates. However, TRIUMF's Vaccination Verification Policy is still in place! Anyone who wants to enter the TRIUMF site must provide proof that they are fully vaccinated (i.e. double for most vaccines, one for the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson).
Vaccination Confirmation:
Proof-of-vaccination will be verified at TRIUMF Reception when registering, after which attendees will receive their name badge and registration package. THERE WILL BE NO SITE ACCESS FOR UNVACCINATED PARTICIPANTS!
Mask Policy:
At TRIUMF, masks are recommended for all participants in indoor gatherings or meetings of more than 20 people. We therefore ask all participants to wear a mask in the designated meeting rooms.
Travellers from outside Canada are reminded that Federal regulations stipulate that they must continue to wear a mask in all public spaces up to 14 days after their arrival (see "Requirements for exempt travellers") .
You feel sick, or test positive:
If you test positive during the meeting or up to 14 days after, please inform TRIUMF immediately. We will have to inform our Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) group and send out an email to inform everyone.
For external visitors: If you feel sick during your stay or feel you are showing COVID19 symptoms, do not leave your accommodation and come to TRIUMF, if you are on site do not return to your accommodation. Immediately let one of the organizers know. TRIUMF OH&S can assist with providing testing (we have some Rapid Antigen Test Kits on site).
