Restart Plans and Workplace Guidelines by Jurisdiction

Below you will find restart plans and health and safety guidelines for various jurisdictions across Canada. If you are planning activities that you do not see covered in this list, please contact your Project Specialist.

In addition, MakeWay has developed its own Return to Work Guidelines, which are applicable to MakeWay Charitable Society employees, volunteers, and contractors. Projects may choose to implement additional procedures/protocol based on your programming, location, team, etc. 

Some jurisdictions have announced mandatory vaccine requirements.

We will be updating this page with more information as it is announced. In the meantime, if you have concerns about an upcoming activity please speak to your Project Specialist.
