The Lac La Ronge Indian Band (LLRIB) has now mandated vaccine passports at several Band facilities.

In a press release, the LLRIB said effective Monday proof of vaccination is now required at non-commercial facilities owned, operated and leased by the Band.

“As a Band, we continue to work together to actively promote immunizations. Mandating vaccination passports is another effort to meet the goal,” said Lac La Ronge Indian Band Chief Tammy Cook-Searson.

The Policy will also apply to all LLRIB staff members and others, including contract workers, couriers and those visiting the Band offices.

Acceptable vaccination passports include digital or hard-copy proof of vaccination issued by the Band or Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA), a card from public health, letter of validation, a vaccination certificate or card, and personal written attestation of immunization.
