A limited number of disposable masks will be provided to people on buses and city facilities but residents are asked to bring their own face coverings if possible.

As well, the city is working with other facility operators such as CASA, the Lethbridge Animal Shelter, the Multicultural Centre, the Cor Van Raay YMCA, and for other swimming pools to implement mask mandates.

Guests are asked to check with facilities about mask regulations before attending.

City council has directed the city manager to look into legislating mandatory face mask usage city-wide. A draft bylaw is expected to be debated by council at their August 10 meeting.
