Association Meeting, Spring 2022 (Invitation Only)

To this end, we are taking the following measures:

• Mandatory Vaccination: Although the Province of Ontario has removed the requirement to provide proof of vaccination, this is a private event, and as such, all attendees (including association employees, member representatives, and guests) will be required to provide proof of full vaccination (currently two doses, or a booster, the last of which was received at least 14 days prior to their attendance) and a photo ID in order to participate in person and to enter meeting and reception spaces. This information will be collected via a third-party service.
• All attendees will be required to self-screen before entering the meeting premises. 
• All persons entering or remaining in the premises or in enclosed common areas are encouraged to wear a mask.
• All individuals will be encouraged to perform hand hygiene when entering and leaving the premises.
• The hotel (and meeting-service providers) will ensure the proper cleaning and disinfection of all audiovisual equipment and meeting spaces.

These health measures are subject to change as the pandemic continues to evolve.

Currently, Canada requires the following for entry (if you are fully vaccinated):

• Starting April 1, 2022, pre-entry tests are no longer required for fully vaccinated travellers entering Canada by land, air or water. You must still use ArriveCAN within 72 hours before your arrival to Canada.
• You must use the ArriveCAN mobile app or sign in on a computer to enter your proof of vaccination, quarantine and travel information.
• You may be required to take a COVID-19 test upon arrival (if randomly selected).

Currently, the United States requires the following for reentry: 

• If you plan to travel internationally, you will need to get a COVID-19 viral test (regardless of vaccination status or citizenship) no more than 1 day before you travel by air into the United States. You must show your negative result to the airline before you board your flight.
• If you recently recovered from COVID-19, you may instead travel with documentation of recovery from COVID-19 (i.e., your positive COVID-19 viral test result on a sample taken no more than 90 days before the flight’s departure from a foreign country and a letter from a licensed healthcare provider or a public health official stating that you were cleared to travel).

Again, these requirements are subject to change as the pandemic evolves. Information will be updated as it becomes available.

While attendees will be responsible for securing their own testing prior to entry into Canada, the Association will secure a third party to conveniently perform the requisite testing at the hotel, for your return to the US (at your own expense).

A block of rooms has been reserved for attendees of the 2022 joint Association Meeting at a special rate. We encourage all attendees to stay at the meeting hotel to ensure ARL and CARL fulfill our contract obligations.
