A recent arbitration decision out of B.C. “may indicate a turning of the tide” in finding that mandatory vaccination policies were no longer reasonable after 2022, according to Cameron Wardell, a partner at Mathews, Dinsdale & Clark in Vancouver.
“For employers generally, [it’s] a reminder/caution to be continuously monitoring and reassessing the reasonableness of policies that were implemented based on an incomplete or changing set of facts/information.”
Suzanne Anton, former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of British Columbia, agrees that it’s an important decision.
