Step 3 entailing a relaxation of mask regulations across the province is expected to begin as early as July 1, 2021.
“Employees should expect that not all customers will be wearing masks as of July 1,” reads the bulletin.
The bulletin also notes that the mandatory mask policy signage and decals across the public transit system will be updated to reflect changes in the public health orders. This process of changing signs and decals is expected to take several weeks.
As well, pending public health orders, Transit Police will no longer enforce the policy.
It should be emphasized that the mandatory mask policy is currently still in effect and enforced, until further notice. An official change in policy has not been made.
