The City of Calgary Vaccine Passport Bylaw 65M2021 requires many businesses and organizations to require proof of vaccination, recent negative COVID-19 test, or valid medical exemption letter to gain entry.

User groups are responsible for ensuring all their participants 12 years and older (players and officials) meet the proof of vaccine requirements.

• Spectators will be screened for bylaw requirements to enter (vaccination, negative test or medical exemption requirements)
• Proof and vaccination (or exemption, or negative test as per the bylaw) 
• Personal identification should be carried with each participant (18 and over only)
• As per Provincial Order and Municipal Bylaw 63M2021 face coverings are required in all indoor public spaces (with the exception of participants on the playing surfaces) 

Proof of vaccination

• Alberta vaccine record with QR code (paper or digital) is now the only valid Alberta-issued proof of vaccination accepted by operators participating in REP.
• Other accepted forms of proof of vaccination include:
  • Other provincial vaccine records
  • First Nation vaccine records
  • ArriveCan app and valid international travel identity document
  • Canadian Armed Forces vaccine records
  • U.S. Military proof of vaccination and ID card
• Valid identification that matches the vaccine record is also required for adults 18 and over.
