One Ontario city could be extending its mandatory mask policy right through until next year.
Kitchener's mask policy currently requires residents to wear masks in all public indoor spaces and on transit.

According to the council's agenda, they will consider the bylaw extension at their meeting next week.
The council cites the need to keep COVID-19 transmission low during the flu season, as well as the recent school reopenings, as reasons for the potential extension.
If the extension is approved, it would come into effect on September 28, 2020.
