These two notices of motion were presented at tonight's City Council meeting, to be presented at the September 13th meeting unless the Premier pre-empts them with province-wide policies and passports.

By Councillor John Tamming: I hereby give notice that at our next regular council meeting on September 13, 2021, I will move the following motion:

WHEREAS COVID-19 has devastated scores of city and regional businesses;

AND WHEREAS many of our businesses simply cannot survive another COVID related Shutdown;

AND WHEREAS we are facing a fourth wave of COVID-19 and it is unknown whether we will face multiple further waves in the future;

AND WHEREAS COVID-19 vaccines are now available to any and all qualified residents;

AND WHEREAS the province of Ontario has thus far opposed vaccine passports;

AND WHEREAS other municipalities such as the Region of Waterloo are actively considering local vaccine passports;

I WILL MOVE THAT city council correspond with each of the County of Grey, County of Bruce and Grey-Bruce Public Health and request in writing that, failing the adoption of a province wide vaccine passport plan on or before November 1, 2021, such governing bodies implement forthwith a Grey-Bruce COVID-19 vaccine passport.

By Mayor Ian Boddy: WHEREAS the province of Ontario has made vccination policies mandatoryfor high risk settings

AND WHEREAS many municipalities in Ontario have, or are in the process of developing a vaccination policy,

I will move a motion at the next regular council meeting that the city council directs staff to bring forward a report respecting an employee and council vaccination policy designed to protect the employees, contractors, volunteers and the public.
