Curling Canada says all athletes, fans, staff and media will have to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to participate in or attend affiliated events.
The country's governing body for curling said in a release Monday the policy will be put into effect "as soon as possible."
Curling Canada says those 12 and over attending events must provide a proof of first vaccination by no later than Sept. 8 and proof of full vaccination by no later than Oct. 12.
Chief executive Katherine Henderson says the protocols are necessary to ensure safety during its affiliated events.
"There's absolutely no question that vaccinations work and significantly reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection," Henderson said. "We want our athletes, our fans, our volunteers and our employees to feel as safe as possible at our events, and we believe this is a necessary step toward that goal."
