December 23, 2020 - Defence Stories
This message contains information from the Government of Canada’s Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer (OCHRO) regarding COVID-19 mobility and inter-provincial travel restrictions.
You are encouraged to visit the DND/CAF COVID-19 Information Page for the latest information pertinent to both civilian and military Defence Team members.
Further to the recent announcements by a number of provinces regarding renewed restrictions, including temporary shutdowns and limiting movement of people within or across their boundaries due to COVID-19, the Government of Canada’s Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer (OCHRO) has confirmed that federal employees who are supporting critical services and cannot work remotely, can continue to travel across provincial and territorial borders to go to their workplaces, as needed.
Although jurisdictions do not have formal border checks in place, critical federal workers should always carry government identification and other photo identification when moving between territorial and provincial boundaries to go to work.
OCHRO will continue to support all public health agencies’ instructions to limit travel to essential work.
