FAQs for Business Owners and Operators
What if someone enters my business without a mask?
If a person arrives without a mask, operators must notify them of the mask requirement as soon as possible after they enter the premises.
If the client says they are exempt from the bylaw, they do not need to show proof and no further action is needed on behalf of the operator.
If a patron refuses to wear a mask and is not exempt from the by-law, a business operator may report the issue to the City for follow-up. This applies to patrons of businesses, and business employees as well.
Can I require proof of exemption?
No. The by-law does not require people to provide proof of exemption.
