COVID-19.. CALGARY CITY COUNCILLORS LOOK TO REPEL MASK BYLAW TO ALIGN WITH PROVINCIAL MEASURES

Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada: 

With provincial mask measures changing on Monday, there will be inconsistencies with the City of Calgary's mask bylaw. As Adam MacVicar reports, some city councillors are looking to align with provincial measures.

Calgary city council is set to discuss the potential repeal of the city’s mask bylaw on Tuesday.

Starting Monday, the minimum age requirement for the province’s mask mandate will be upped to 12 years old, which is at odds with the minimum age of two for the city’s masking bylaw.

It comes after the provincial government announced its plan to lift health measures in a staged approach, starting with the removal of the Restrictions Exemption Program last week.
