Vaccination Exemption Questions, News (Northumberland Minor Hockey)

If an Affected Person cannot provide the OMHA or their Association with satisfactory evidence of

vaccination, the following will be taken into consideration by the OMHA:

• The Affected Person’s reason for not being vaccinated; and

• Documentation to substantiate a medical or protected ground reason for not being vaccinated.

  Any Affected Person requiring accommodation must provide the OMHA with documentation to substantiate their reason for not being vaccinated. Where accommodation is not possible without undue hardship to other Affected Persons, the Affected Person will not be permitted to be involved in any Sanctioned Activity for the duration of the pandemic or until such time that COVID-19 no longer poses a significant public health risk.

  The OMHA reserves the right to have accommodation medical documentation reviewed by an OMHA designated medical specialist and to make appropriate inquiries to verify the authenticity of any creed/religion-based claim for accommodation.

  Any Affected Person who is granted accommodation must undergo regular COVID-19 testing and must provide evidence to their Association, as applicable, of a negative test taken not more than 72 hours prior to each Sanctioned Activity.
