The City of London requires all recreation and sport users aged 12 and older to be fully vaccinated and provide proof of their vaccination status to access certain City recreation programs and facilities including community centres, arenas and indoor aquatics facilities. Proof of vaccination must be provided every time an individual enters or re-enters a facility.
