SUCCESS: Tims Camps drop COVID-19 vaccine mandate for campers

Tim Hortons Foundation Camps was discriminating against underprivileged kids and further coercing them into COVID-19 vaccine compliance by mandating all staff and campers be double vaccinated just to attend their camps throughout the summer of 2022.

And it appears that they are slowly and quietly removing the unscientific (and arguably never justified) requirement, after we launched a successful petition campaign.

Two parents, both of whom wish to remain anonymous, shared a communication from Tims Camps with Rebel News that reads:

Thank you for your interest in Tim Hortons Foundation Camps and our vaccination policy. Our response over the past 2+ years has evolved as we continually review our actions and policies to ensure they are aligned with public health, travel regulations, and local accrediting bodies. Based on the updated public health guidelines in our operating locations, along with updates to vaccination requirements in most public settings, while vaccinations are strongly encouraged, Tims Camps does not require campers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to participate in our programs.

And the other:

While we continue to encourage and highly recommend campers to become fully vaccinated against COVID-19, it will no longer be required to attend camp. The health, safety and welfare of our campers is our top priority. Tims Camps is committed to providing a positive experience in a safe environment for all campers. We continue to monitor and respond to new information, including government and public health directives, advice, guidance and information received from public health experts.

Thank you to everyone who helped make our campaign successful. 

When Tim Hortons Refused Unvaccinated Children 

When provincial governments all across Canada gave institutions, agencies, employers, and foundations free reign to implement universal COVID-19 vaccine policies, do you think they foresaw that these entities would go above and beyond provincial requirements to force people to comply?

Unfortunately, despite the government no longer enforcing a vaccine mandate, Tim Hortons still is.

Founded in 1974, Tim Hortons Foundation Camps run several camps across North America for teens from low-income families.

The foundation's own website claims to foster a sense of community for the teens while creating a safe and inclusive space for them to flourish.

So why are they barring those in need from attending their camps based on a private medical decision?

That's why I am launching this petition to have this overreaching vaccine policy reversed.

If you agree that Tim Hortons should allow all qualified youth to attend their camps regardless of their vaccination status, please sign the petition on this page.

Denying minors the ability to partake in fun activities is cruel and unwarranted. Kids have already missed out on so much, and Tim Hortons needs to let them camp!
