MLSE Requiring Vaccines or Negative Test At All Arenas and Stadiums

You'll soon need to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test in order to see some your favourite Toronto sports teams.

Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment says beginning in the middle of next month, anyone attending its arenas, stadiums or restaurants will need to prove they're vaccinated or have tested negative in order to enter its facilities. 

The rule will apply to fans as well as event staff and employees. 

MLSE owns the Scotiabank Arena and Maple Leaf Square, as well as teams including the Raptors, the Toronto FC, the Argonauts and the Maple Leafs.

It also operates BMO Field and Ricoh Coliseum, which are owned by the City of Toronto. 

The company says it has a responsibility to provide a safe environment to workers and guests. 

"We believe these health and safety protocols are the key to allowing our communities and businesses to reopen safely, to permit full capacity events, and to protect against further lockdowns."

Details surrounding the implementation of the new protocols will be provided in the coming weeks.
