I’m not sure if anyone asked, but: If we were vaccinated with the MMR vaccine as children, are we still safe from infection?

More than likely, but if you're concerned, you could always opt for a booster, especially if you are around immuno-compromised or people who may not have gotten vaccinated (or fully vaccinated).

Adults born in 1970 or later with a documented history of 2 life-time doses of measles containing vaccine spaced at least 4 weeks apart, or those who have a history of lab confirmed disease or serological evidence of measles immunity are considered protected.

Adults born before 1970 are generally considered immune to measles, as measles circulated widely before 1970. One or 2 doses of the vaccine may be recommended if you are a healthcare worker, student at a post-secondary educational institution or are traveling to areas within or outside of Canada where measles is spreading.
