EPSB asks province for thresholds for in-school masking, claiming enforcement difficulty without government support

EPSB asks province for thresholds for in-school masking, claiming enforcement difficulty without government support

The trustees of Edmonton's public school division want a meeting with Alberta's new top doctor and clarity on when it is appropriate to resurrect health measures brought in during the pandemic, such as mask mandates.
