Electricity Distributors Association is committed to the production and hosting of safe conferences, events, and tradeshows for all of our attendees, exhibitors, and staff. In light of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, we are continuously monitoring, and will comply with, all public health guidelines, laws, regulations, and best practices applicable in the jurisdictions in which our events take place. In line with this commitment, EDA has adopted and will adhere to a variety of event protocols designed to keep our events as safe as possible. Of course, all protocols are subject to changes as public health guidelines, laws, regulations, and best practices evolve.
Registration does not guarantee admission to the event. As part of our current protocols and as a pre-condition of admission to the event, all persons attending EDA events in person will be required to provide proof of full vaccination at the time of admission. In Ontario, being “fully vaccinated” means 14 days after your second dose. Once the “vaccine passport” system is implemented by the Ontario government, you will need to show a QR code from your smartphone (or a print-out) together with a valid government-issued card with your photo (e.g., driver’s license or health card) to verify identity. Note that, until the vaccine passport system is implemented current governmental requirements permits an electronic or print-out version of your vaccination receipt (in Ontario, available through the provincial vaccination portal), also with a valid government-issued photo ID card. Individuals visiting from outside the province or the country will be required to show their full vaccination status and identification to be admitted to the event.
EDA will at all times comply with applicable privacy laws and regulations. Any personal medical information collected from you in connection with our event protocols will be kept confidential, only used by and disclosed to those reasonably necessary to regulate admission to the event, and will not be retained after no longer required.
