City of Mississauga issued a reminder that masks still need to be worn in indoor public settings until it reviews the bylaw in city council even as the provincial mandate lifts.
The City of Mississauga has issued a reminder that masks still need to be worn in indoor public settings in the municipality even as the provincial mandate has lifted.
The City posted a tweet Monday morning that read, “Do you need to wear a mask in Mississauga today? Yes you do.”
Officials said the municipal bylaw for masking remains in effect until March 31.
City Council will make a decision on Wednesday on whether to lift the mandatory mask bylaw early, officials noted.
“I do anticipate the decision will be to align with the province and lift the mandate,” Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie said in a statement.
This means the mask bylaw could officially be dropped earlier, on Wednesday.
“Given some administrative requirements, this decision to alter/remove a by-law has to be made at a City Council meeting, and the first planned one following the Province’s announcement on changes to masking requirements is March 23,” the City of Mississauga told Global News in a statement.
Some cities and regions opted for their own mask mandate under a Section 22 order of the health act in 2020 through their medical officers of health. Others voted on it in council before the province had mandated the use of masking. Some regions had re-extended the masking mandate in the winter for months in advance.
