The bylaw goes into effect

Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson organized an emergency session on Thursday morning to discuss whether Edmonton would be following in the footsteps of Calgary in terms of mandating masks in public spaces. 

According to CTV News, the city will be focusing on educating locals on wearing masks rather than punishing them for not doing so. 

Mayor Iveson has reportedly criticized Premier Kenney for not creating a mandatory-mask rule across the province.
