What is 99ers Second Shift?

Today (September 22) marked the first day of the vaccine passport rollout in the province and brought with it some confusion. BMHA would like to clarify the policies and government regulations. 

Effective immediately, all spectators aged 12 and up are required to present proof of full vaccination to City of Brantford staff to gain entry to the facility. This is part of the government vaccine passport rollout. 

The mandatory vaccination policy recently introduced by ALLIANCE deals strictly with participants. That policy is for players, volunteers, bench staff, and officials aged 12 and up without an ALLIANCE approved exemption. Participants without an exemption must be fully vaccinated by Oct 31, including the 14 days after your second dose.
