Today the Halifax Wanderers announced that beginning with their next home game on September 3rd, all employees, event staff, media and fans aged 12 and older will be required to provide proof of vaccination or a *negative COVID-19 rapid test to gain entry into the stadium for the remainder of the 2021 season.

“Our club’s mission has always been to make our community stronger through sport and at this point we feel this decision is important both pragmatically and symbolically as our community continues to work through the challenges and risks presented by the COVID-19 pandemic” said Derek Martin, President and Founder of the Wanderers. “This policy will ensure the Wanderers Grounds is a safe gathering place for our community while still respecting everyone’s right to personal choice. Together we will find our way forward”.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have an impact on our community and as we ease our way into living with COVID, the health and safety of our employees and fans is our club’s number one priority at all times. Further details on the implementation of these new protocols at the Wanderers Grounds will be provided in the coming days.

We thank our fans for their continued support as we navigate through this unprecedented time.

*Negative COVID-19 rapid test results must be recorded within 24 hours of kick-off
