Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members are still being discharged for non-compliance with the military’s COVID-19 vaccination directive even after other federal employers have suspended their vaccine requirements, Federal Court records show.

The court records, obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter, showed that Corporal Shannon Jones, a meteorological technician at Maritime Forces Pacific Headquarters in Esquimalt, B.C., was dismissed for not being vaccinated against COVID six weeks after vaccine mandates were lifted for nearly 300,000 federal employees and the RCMP on June 20.
