Halton Region Mandatory Mask Bylaw Passes Unanimously

Unanimous! Thank you to Halton Region councillors, staff, Halton’s Medical Officer of Health, legal team, everyone who submitted their presentations, to those who sent emails, made phone calls, commented on social media (even the ones who called me a loser 🙂 and other unmentionable names & reminded me they knew where I lived) …

THANK YOU for participating. I will have a link to the new bylaw up when its prepared and ready.

This afternoon after an over 6 hour debate at Halton Region Council, I along with all mayors, councillors and Regional Chair Gary Carr in voting unanimously for a region wide bylaw requiring the use of non-medical face masks in enclosed public spaces in Milton and across Halton Region.

The by-law comes into force on Wednesday, July 22, 2020 and will provide consistency across Halton and the GTA in order to minimize public confusion on non-medical masks and face coverings.
