<div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">
Hi, folks.  I am wondering if BC’s museums will proof of vaccination a requirement or not, given the option to do so?  
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It would be good to have a sense of where the majority are headed with this.  I had assumed we would be included in the mandatory proof of vaccination requirement.  That said, I tried to summarize the arguments for and against - I suspect there
 are many more arguments on either side of this.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">
<b>Arguments in favour of requiring proof of vaccination</b></div>
<div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">
<div>- Requiring proof of vaccination will keep our people - volunteers, visitors, staff, board - safer because fewer infected people will visit the museum.  </div>
<div>- If we don't require proof, we may see more unvaccinated people come to the museum because they will have limited alternatives for places to go, increasing risk for our people.  This will include tourists from other provinces.  </div>
<div>- If we don't require proof. visitors who do value proof of vaccination and a safe environment may decide to not visit our museum.<br>
</div>
<div>- We will be seen as responsible to our communities.  Museums are society's most trusted institutions.  People trust us to make good decisions on behalf of our greater communities.  Supporting public policy and requiring proof of vaccination to
 help stop the pandemic is in the community's interest.  </div>
<div>- The sooner more people are vaccinated, the sooner we will stop the roller coaster of pandemic waves and return to normal.  It is in our interest to stop the financial strain of future waves of infection.  </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>Arguments against requiring proof of vaccination</b></div>
<div>- If Museums are not mandated to require proof, then the experts have obviously assessed risk of infection in museums to be low. We should trust their expertise.</div>
<div>- Museums should be for as many people in the community as possible.  This includes people who choose not to vaccinate or are unable to get vaccinated.</div>
<div>- Requiring proof of vaccination may cause us to have fewer visitors when we are very much in need of revenue after a poor year of visitation.</div>
<div>- Requiring proof will set up our front desk staff for potentially difficult interactions with visitors who refuse to provide proof or try to set up an argument.</div>
<div>- The rules for proof of vaccination are still quite hazy and implementation will be complex.  We will not have guidance for some time yet from the Province of BC on what acceptable out-of-province proof of vaccination will be.  This increases
 the potential for difficult interactions with visitors. </div>
