PODIUM 2022 UPDATED COVID-19 PROTOCOL - MAY 2022

The health and safety of everyone involved with PODIUM 2022 is our top priority. PODIUM 2022 will abide by the COVID-19 protocols of both the Conference hotel venue and the Festival performance venues.

CONFERENCE HOTEL:
PODIUM 2022 strongly recommends that all those who attend Podium activities at the hotel be masked at all times, except when eating, drinking, or presenting, for the safety and protection of the most vulnerable attendees, as well as themselves
. Additional masks as well as Rapid-Antigen Tests will be available at the Registration desk. Interest Session rooms will have HEPA filters. Delegates are asked to complete Ontario’s Covid-19 self-assessment screening daily as well as monitoring for symptoms. Website: covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment


FESTIVAL VENUES:
All Festival venues require the audience to be masked. PODIUM 2022 has reduced capacity for ticket sales to allow for more space between audience members should they wish. 

​
PERFORMING ENSEMBLES:
Following guidelines from our Festival venues,
performing ensembles may choose to be masked or unmasked during their performance, however masking is strongly encouraged. 


TORONTO PUBLIC TRANSIT:
A mask mandate on Toronto public transit (TTC subway, streetcar, bus) remains in place. 


Current public health measures in the Province of Ontario do not require social distancing, vaccine passports or other mitigation measures. The province moved from “mandated” masking to “recommended” masking in most interior settings (hospitals and public transit continue to require masking) and has eased testing and isolation requirements. 

We ask that all of our Conference delegates and Festival audience members remain compassionate, kind and supportive to everyone participating at PODIUM 2022 as we navigate the challenges of this event during a pandemic.  

As the COVID-19 situation in Canada and internationally continues to evolve, the PODIUM 2022 Committee and organizational partners reserve the right to alter, postpone or cancel the conference and/or festival offerings at any time. 

The PODIUM 2022 Committee and organizational partners are not liable for expenses related to travel arrangements or other financial commitments made by delegates or Conference participants as they plan to attend PODIUM 2022. We strongly encourage anyone making travel reservations to purchase travel insurance or other protections as required.
