The science around mask wearing is clear. Masks are not 100% effective, but they do help as part of an overall plan (along with social distancing and hand washing) to protect each other.

The current trend in Covid-19 cases is going the wrong way.

Let’s make mask wearing in public spaces mandatory so we can stop the spread and reduce deaths and workload on our health care system. Wearing a mask shows you care about others.

Seatbelts are mandatory and they don’t protect others. Masks protect everyone!

Please add your support to this important policy change. The sooner we do this, the better off we will all be.
