Town of Nipawin re-introduces mask requirement for all town facilities
Effective Sept. 15 until at least Oct. 12, there will be required indoor masking at all town owned and operated facilities in Nipawin, for all employees and public entering these facilities.
The decision comes after council voted on the issue on Sept. 13 at their monthly meeting, in response to the surge of COVID cases in the area and across the province.
Lesley Richer, Chief Financial Officer for the Town of Nipawin mentioned that the health and safety of employees and the community remains the town’s top priority and broke down how this decision came to be.
“The safety of our residents and our employees are of top priority for the town and with some increases in cases in our local area, council wanted to discuss the idea of requiring indoor masking at our facilities for both the public and our town staff.”
