Calgary’s masking bylaw

Calgary City Council has determined that the mandatory masking bylaw will remain in effect for the city until at least July 5 and Calgarians will be required to continue to wear masks in indoor public spaces until then. The discussion will continue on July 5 when City Council reconvenes to determine how long the bylaw will continue to be in place.
