Apollo Cinema Safety Guidelines

We've made changes to ensure the safety of our guests and staff

VACCINATION POLICY

 Starting September 22, anyone attending movies at The Apollo will need to provide proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as part of the Ontario government’s Vaccine Certification Program.

 Audience members will need to provide a paper or .pdf copy of their vaccine receipt, along with photo ID, in order to show that they received their second dose at least 14 days prior to the day they’re attending. This does not apply to those under the age of 12.

 Apollo Classic Annual Members and Film Circle Members will only be required to show their proof of vaccination at their first visit. Confirmation of vaccination status will be attached to each member record and checked at each visit. Photo ID will be required.

 Need to access your vaccination record? You can do so at https://covid19.ontariohealth.ca/

We kindly ask that you do not attend shows at The Apollo Cinema if any of the following applies:

  • Have traveled outside of Canada within the last 14 days.
  • Are in close contact with a person who has currently has, or has tested positively for, COVID-19.

Once everyone is seated and the film has started you will be able to remove your mask to enjoy concessions. Please ensure that you re-affix your mask before leaving your seat.

  • added additional cleaning precautions to our daily checklists including:
    • regular sanitizing of high contact areas (door handles, debit terminals, etc)
    • extended time between showtimes to disinfect washrooms, concession, box office, and the theatre
  • retrained staff to ensure understanding and proper deployment of safety protocols
