Personal gatherings:

held at a person’s home or public outdoor area (park, etc.), max 50 people, no operational plan, Vax Pass not required.

Organized gathering:

held at venues such as community centres, businesses, events; Vax Pass usually required (operator responsible to check guidance), operational plan needed.
