SASKATOON After months of instructions from the province regarding public health guidelines, businesses will soon be in the driver s seat. On Sunday restaurants, stores and other businesses can choose to remove the mandatory mask mandate. “It should be left up to business because not all businesses are the same nature,” said the owner of Techedge Tauseeq Aziz. “We have shoplifting at a higher rate in this so there were points where we did not want to have masks on our customers, the owner of the Riversdale business said. The Government of Saskatchewan released new guidance for mask use and other safety measures under Step Three of the Reopening Roadmap, which will remove all public health orders on July 11.

Sieben-Chuback owns Living Skies Cannabis, one of the original six cannabis stores that opened in the city when the federal government legalized recreational cannabis in October 2018.
