Quebec says its vaccine passport system will be available for download on smartphones starting Sept. 1.
Starting Sept. 1, people aged 13 and over in Quebec will be required to show proof of vaccination to access non-essential businesses such as restaurants, bars and gyms or face fines from $1,000 to $6,000 for non-compliance. If businesses choose not to check for vaccine passports, they can be closed by public health authorities but the province will not impose any penalties until Sept. 15.
