While the BC Conservation Foundation does not currently have a mandatory COVID-19 policy, we take the BC Public Health Officer's guidelines seriously.

Many of clients have enacted mandates that stipulate vaccination requirements be met by their workers and contractors.

In light of this we encourage all BC Conservation Foundation employees, our contractors and volunteers to be fully vaccinated before entering client mandated worksites, unless having a properly supported human rights exemption reflected under the provisions of the BC Human Rights Code.

The BC Conservation Foundation respectfully acknowledges that we operate on the traditional and unceded territory of many Indigenous Peoples throughout British Columbia._
