A constitutional rights group says it is prepared to take legal action against a regional government in B.C. if it does not accommodate a local volunteer firefighter who asked to be exempt from its mandatory COVID-19 vaccine policy on the basis of religious grounds and natural immunity.
On April 28, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms sent a legal warning letter to the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD), demanding “reasonable accommodation” to Crag Nygard for exemption from its vaccine mandate for all staff, including paid on-call volunteer firefighters.
