Dear member,
The wearing of masks will be mandatory in closed public places throughout Quebec as of Saturday, July 18, Quebec Premier François Legault announced today.
A merchant who allows a consumer to enter his establishment without a mask is liable to a fine of $400 to $6,000. Fines could be distributed to individuals after August 1st.
Public Transit
Remember that it is mandatory to wear a mask in public transit vehicles everywhere in Quebec, starting today.
Wearing a mask is not mandatory for children aged 2 to 12, but is strongly encouraged.
There will be a two-week grace period. However, as of July 27, anyone without a face covering will be denied access to a bus, metro or taxi.
With solidarity,
The IATSE 514 team
