Warwick Twp releases statement on mayor's stance on vaccine passports

The Township of Warwick appears to be distancing itself from recent comments made by the municipality's mayor.

In a post Monday, Jackie Rombouts said she would "refuse the Ontario vaccine passport and will not patron any business or organization that will not welcome all my fellow Ontarians equally."

Warwick Township responded Tuesday, saying they were aware of Rombouts' comments.

It said the views expressed by the mayor "do not necessarily reflect those of the Corporation of Warwick Township or members of Warwick Township Council."

The statement went on to say the Township of Warwick will "continue to follow and implement COVID-19 policies and procedures based on recommendations of Lambton Public Health and the provincial government."
