This Ottawa-based science fiction convention has consistently had stronger COVID policies than most #medical conferences since the start of the #pandemic.
They survey people (prior to each convention) interested in attending, and cater the policies to what people want. You may be surprised. In light of new variants and what might be around in the fall... Some highlights:
"The clearest message we received was that mandatory #masking was an absolutely necessary part of having a safe and welcoming environment."
"There was also mixed support for ensuring that attendees are vaccinated, but since provincial governments have stopped supporting the various #vaccine verification systems, we don’t want to promise something we can’t deliver. Can*Con will encourage all attendees to be up to date on their vaccines and boosters." #SF#sciencefiction#CanCon#mask#IDmastodon#medmastodon
