We want to see the City of Edmonton, move to level 3 and REQUIRE MASKS IN PUBLIC SPACES. We want to see this not, in 3 weeks, not in 1 week, NOW before the numbers rise and we have to shut down again.

Calgary mandated masks “in all City of Calgary buildings, buses, trains, taxis, malls and grocery stores"

Only July 23, 2020, the City of Edmonton moved to level two to protect their staff and people, but what about the people of Edmonton?

We are all at risk of once again of having to shelter in place and close businesses if the number of cases continues to increase at this rate.

WHERE SHOULD MASKS BE WORN?

1. TRANSPORTATION - Masks must be worn on public transit, taxis, etc. and in places where people wait for transit.

2. PUBLIC INDOOR SPACES - All indoor spaces that are openly accessible to the public, including:
retail stores
convenience stores
malls, shopping plazas
grocery stores, bakeries, farmer’s markets (enclosed areas)
restaurants, bars (indoors)
indoor recreational facilities, gyms, swimming pools
libraries
community centres
community service agencies
personal service settings
churches, mosques, synagogues, temples and faith settings
art galleries, museums, aquariums, zoos
banquet halls, convention centres, arenas, stadiums, and other event spaces
real estate facilities such as open house, presentation centres
common areas in hotels, motels and short-term rentals (e.g. lobbies, elevators, meeting rooms)
entertainment facilities including concert venues, theatres, cinemas, casinos
business offices open to the public."

Note: "Face masks and coverings do not replace the need to keep a distance of two metres or six feet from others, wash hands often and stay home when sick.

Thank you for your consideration. We are all in this together!
