The politicians in Lambton Shores which include lakeside communities of Ipperwash, Grand Bend, and Port Franks have voted to implement a bylaw mandating the use of face masks or coverings. The rule involves the wearing of face masks in enclosed public spaces within the municipality as COVID-19 continues.
Just like with other bylaws in other areas, Lambton Shore’s mandates face coverings be worn in any type of enclosed space where the public is permitted such as restaurants, stores, office buildings, and municipal facilities including by patrons and staff or owners.
In addition, if an employee is protected from the public behind a physical barrier, they do not require a face covering, however, the public being served would.
Under the bylaw, a face covering is defined as a “medical-grade mask or non-medical cloth mask or other face-covering” such as a scarf, bandana, or other fabric covering the mouth, nose, and chin.
