Notice: The Greater Toronto Airport Authority (GTAA) and FESTI have implement a mandatory vaccination policy, effective on September 14, 2021.

The GTAA believes that vaccinations are the most effective way to ensure the health and safety of our employees, passengers and communities while helping to decrease the spread of COVID-19. This is consistent with the August 13 announcement by the Canadian government that COVID-19 vaccinations would be required for employees working in federally regulated businesses, including those at Toronto Pearson Airport.

Protecting the health and safety of our employees and students is at the core of the GTAA’s COVID-19 Vaccination Policy. As of October 31st, all staff, students and visitors at FESTI must be fully vaccinated with a health Canada approved vaccine.
