Mask debate to resume at Ottawa-Carleton school board Thursday evening, online-only
Several parents who spoke at Tuesday’s meeting said they believe masks are harmful to their children and that the school board has no right to mandate them.
Etches told reporters she does not feel the situation at local hospitals as yet demands the re-introduction of a mask mandate in Ottawa. “I’m giving my best advice about what we need to do right now, which is to increase our wearing of masks indoors, get vaccinated, and stay home when you’re sick,” she said.
