Want to be at a live event again? Vaccine mandates are being pushed by businesses

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Guest: Josh Rubin, business reporter for the Star Because neither the federal or Ontario provincial government have created vaccine passports for the public yet (while other provinces have started plans of their own), live event businesses and franchises are taking matters into their own hands to create new rules for customers. Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, the Toronto Blue Jays, the Toronto International Film Festival and Mirvish Productions are all mandating attendees to either show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test before going inside their venues. Do businesses have the legal power to enforce their own COVID rules? Can mandates prevent another business lockdown in the fourth wave? As big organizations push forward on vaccine mandates, does this pave the way for small businesses to do the same?
