​Influenza Control Policy

To protect our vulnerable patients, residents and clients from influenza our volunteers will be required to either get the influenza vaccine or wear a mask by the first week of December.

The Ministry of Health has created a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document about the Influenza Control Program specifically for volunteers, which can be accessed here.

If you have had the flu shot please advise via e-mail or call 604-733-9177 ext.107.
