City of Mississauga mask bylaw remains in place even as provincial mandate lifts
has issued a reminder that masks still need to be worn in indoor public settings in the municipality even as the provincial mandate has lifted.
“I do anticipate the decision will be to align with the province and lift the mandate,” Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie said in a statement.Story continues below advertisement“Given some administrative requirements, this decision to alter/remove a by-law has to be made at a City Council meeting, and the first planned one following the Province’s announcement on changes to masking requirements is March 23,” the City of Mississauga told Global News in a statement.
On Monday, the Ford government’s mask mandate dropped for places such as retail and restaurants among other establishments, meaning Ontarians are no longer required — by the province — to wear a mask or face covering. Masks are now optional or a choice. The City of Mississauga also told Global News it wouldn’t be proactively enforcing the mandate given the current circumstances.
