CALGARY -- According to Mayor Naheed Nenshi, Calgary could join other major Canadian cities in making non-medical masks mandatory in all indoor public spaces if there isn't a noticeable increase in mask use within the city."Our level of mask wearing in Calgary, in stores and in public transit in particular, is way too low, and I’ve been pushing saying 'we gotta do it' and people aren’t doing it," said Nenshi.
According to the mayor, masks are amongst three critical actions people should take to limit the spread of COVID-19, along with maintaining physical distance from others and practicing good hygiene. Masks are also mandatory in Ottawa and Montreal is expected to implement the same rules later this month. "If that’s something we need to examine, then that’s something I’m very happy to bring forward to council," said Nenshi.
