Mandatory Mask Bylaw<\/p><\/div>\n

On August 1, 2020 the Calgary <\/span>temporary mandatory masks bylaw<\/span> comes into effect.\u00a0 This bylaw requires the wearing of masks or face coverings in any indoor space that the public has access.\u00a0 Businesses are also required to post signage where applicable along with maintaining a safe work environment.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

As we continue to work together to help flatten the curve in Calgary, a<\/span> sign requiring the use of a mask is posted at Emerald Management & Realty Ltd.’s front entry as the main reception area could be perceived as a public area.\u00a0 Current social distancing and sanitizing protocols remain in effect for the protection of our team and clients.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We understand that some people may be unable to wear a mask due to various medical reasons.\u00a0 This is a situation that we will address with kindness and understanding.\u00a0 That being said, our team understands that it is important to be in compliance with this bylaw for the safeguard of fellow team members, clients and customers.\u00a0 Everyone’s support and cooperation as we work with this new bylaw is most appreciated. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our goal at the onset of Covid-19 was to keep our team and clients safe, healthy and working.\u00a0 As we enter this next phase, wearing a mask, practicing good hygiene, maintaining good health and wellness,\u00a0 in addition to remaining diligent to the habits already developed continues to be important.\u00a0 Our team is aware that when it is not possible to maintain social distancing in accordance to Alberta Health Services recommendations, a mask is required when in public, on a job site and when working with customers. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In support of this temporary bylaw, half a million masks have been made available for free around the city of Calgary.\u00a0 Free masks in packages of 10 are available at <\/span>select recreation\u00a0<\/span>centres<\/span>, Calgary Transit stations, bus terminals, and animal shelters.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
