The University of British Columbia is making some changes to the program that requires COVID-19 vaccine declarations and rapid testing.

Mayor Jyoti Gondek says a CPS decision to apply for more rapid COVID tests undermines the citys stance about the importance of vaccination.

Wednesday was supposed to be the deadline for all city employees including police to be fully-vaccinated, or start paying for their own rapid tests.

The Calgary Police Service's decision to provide free COVID test kits to unvaccinated employees has forced the City of Calgary to also continue the service, says the mayor.

Staff who report to work at City of Swift Current offices are now required to provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination or undergo a rapid test on-site.
