Ingenium and all Capital region national museums to require proof of vaccination

Ottawa, ON, November 15, 2021 –Today, Ingenium which oversees the Canada Science and Technology Museum, the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, and the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, announced visitors over the age of 12 will be required to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination for general access to the museums as of December 1, 2021. A similar policy will be implemented December 1 at the region’s other national museums: Canadian Museum of History, Canadian War Museum, National Gallery of Canada and the Canadian Museum of Nature.

As public institutions, the proof of vaccination requirement offers another step to preserve the safety of visitors and staff, and to contribute to helping eliminate the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The national museums will also require all employees to be fully vaccinated, in alignment with recently announced federal guidelines.

In order to be considered fully vaccinated, visitors must have completed a full series of a Health Canada approved COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days before their visit. Guests can present either a paper or digital copy of their vaccination receipt, along with government-issued ID that includes name and date of birth.

Since the start of the pandemic, the national museums in Ottawa-Gatineau have implemented a range of health and safety measures to combat COVID-19, including mandatory face masks, enhanced cleaning and hand washing stations. Requiring vaccination is another way the museums are ensuring a safe environment for all visitors.
