A local government in the Southern Interior of B.C. has dropped its COVID-19 vaccine mandate for volunteer firefighters, says a legal advocacy organization.
In a press release on Oct. 27, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms announced that the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) ended its COVID-19 vaccination policy for volunteer firefighters in September.
