At a Sept. 30 press conference, Quebec Health and Social Services Minister Christian Dubé announced a further relaxation of health measures in Quebec due to the increasingly positive outlook in the Province. For venues with assigned seating, such as cinemas and sporting events, limits on the number of participants are no longer required, assuming everyone has a vaccine passport. There will be no further audience limits on ceremonies, meetings, assemblies, graduations and other formal gatherings where a passport is already required.
