The mask mandate may have dropped, but masks are still a common sight across the city.
Masks were still a very familiar sight in various spots across the city on Monday — even as the province lifted face-covering mandates for most public spaces. From schools, to shops, to libraries, it was clear many in Toronto were not yet ready to give them up. The Star checked in at multiple places around town to see who was masking and who wasn’t.
