Masks

Hey….I think the bylaw insists on wearing masks irrespective of what the occasion is. I strongly advise you to wear them even though the wedding is scheduled for September. Why risk the little chances we have if you can avoid mishaps with a little care?. Try wearing masks, keep yourselves healthy, and best wishes in advance for the wedding.

I had this same thought. I am okay with my guests wearing masks for our indoor ceremony (in fact I encourage it!) but I am feeling a bit vain and am going to have to talk to our minister about if my fiancé and I can go maskless for the ceremony.

View quoted message Great. This helps. We’ll see what changes happen! Thanks again, Hank! I appreciate the response

View quoted message Oh, if you're in Burlington then you're fine (for now). This is a Toronto specific bylaw and as far as I'm aware at the moment, the only other cities who want to implement this at the moment are Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, and Vaughan.

View quoted message Thanks Hank... the venue is in Burlington. Do you think that makes any difference?

Actually, nevermind. The earliest this bylaw will expire is September 30/October 1 when Toronto has their first city council meeting after the summer. But at that meeting, they can extend it.

Yes, the mask law applies to banquet halls, convention centre, and event spaces. But the new law passed is temporary. We don't know for how long the law will be in effect for so we can't be certain if your September wedding will be affected.
