Staff at Northland Utilities who get fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will receive $1,000 bonuses being offered by parent company ATCO.

Smaller Yellowknife businesses that spoke with CBC News said they have too few employees to worry about offering incentives — many of them had fully vaccinated staff members already. "For the safety of myself and our staff, and our other clients in here, we're asking that everyone be fully vaccinated.
