Throughout the pandemic, CWB has made decisions based on our leading value to put people first. With an evolving landscape, which includes the spread of the highly transmissible Delta variant and new guidance from the federal government, health and safety continues to be at the forefront of our decision making. As we look to support the return to our workplaces in the coming months, and to contribute to the wellbeing of our employees, clients, and communities, we are introducing an important safety measure for our organization.

Effective November 1, 2021, all CWB Financial Group employees and contractors entering the workplace must be fully vaccinated and must provide proof of vaccination.

'Vaccination has always been our best path out of the pandemic,' says Chris Fowler, CWB's President and CEO. 'Vaccination supports Canada's economic recovery and the livelihoods of business owners, and is the best way to keep each other and our clients, families and communities safe.'

CWB is among a growing list of large employers, including Canada's largest banks, who will require mandatory vaccination in all their Canadian workplaces in the coming months. All locations across CWB Financial Group's footprint, including our banking centres, continue to adhere to guidance from local health authorities and follow government re-opening strategies regarding public indoor retail spaces.
