Performance Improvements Mandatory Face Covering Policy
All staff, visitors and customers are required to disinfect their hands plus wear a mask or face covering upon entering and remaining within Performance Improvements. The mask or face covering must properly cover the nose, mouth and chin.
ALL PERSONS ENTERING OR REMAINING IN THESE PREMISES SHALL WEAR A MASK OR FACE COVERING WHICH COVERS THE NOSE, MOUTH AND CHIN AS REQUIRED UNDER CITY OF TORONTO BY-LAW 541-2020.
The by-law applies to all indoor spaces that are openly accessible to the public. Temporary removal of the mask is only permitted by P.I. Employees in a designed area not for public access, or within or behind a physical barrier.
For customers who are exempted from wearing a mask, we have Face Shields available for purchase. For customers unwilling to cover their faces at all, we offer online, telephone, or curbside pickup.
Every person, business or facility who contravenes any provision of this bylaw is guilty of an offence, and upon conviction is liable to a fine as provided for in the Provincial Offences Act.
