Petrolia Flyers dump Trojans
St Clair Township says no to mandatory masks
August 17, 2020
St. Clair Township council has just turned down a mandatory mask bylaw for its community.
The vote was close 4-3 with Mayor Steve Arnold casting the deciding vote against forcing residents in the communities to wear a mask in indoor public spaces in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Arnold contends the County of Lambton should be deciding the matter.
Lambton County councillors may have a chance to look at the issue again in September. Mayor Mike Bradley, after failing to gain support for a county-wide mandatory mask bylaw in July, will ask his political colleagues to consider the idea during the Sept. 2 meeting.
So far, only Sarnia and Petrolia have passed mandatory mask bylaws. Both Plympton-Wyoming and St. Clair have turned down the concept.
