Those attending Ottawa Senators games at the Canadian Tire Centre (CTC) are no longer required to provide proof of vaccination.

As the Ontario government continues to ease certain COVID-19 related health restrictions, the venue is lifting vaccine passport requirements for attendees, though the mandate will remain in place for all full-time and part-time employees.

The president of business operations for the Ottawa Senators, Anthony Leblanc, says after carefully monitoring provincial health updates, the club is confident this is the right decision for the facility after closely monitoring provincial health updates.

The CTC will also communicate with the venue's upcoming entertainment and concert promoters to determine respective regulations.

Entertainment event requirements will be communicated by way of the venue's social platforms and by contacting the facility directly.
