While many people began working from home this spring, the StarPhoenix’s photojournalists continued venturing into the world to capture images of people, places and events affected by the COVID-19 pandemic all while masked up and keeping a safe distance from those they shot. Below, photojournalist Matt Smith shares some of his most powerful images of 2020. Tubers ride the lift at Optimist Hill. Photo taken Jan. 2, 2020. Photo by Matt Smith /Saskatoon StarPhoenix

Saskatoon Mayor Charlie Clark denounced anti-mask rallies in a series of tweets on Tuesday.
Hundreds of people have gathered at events in Saskatoon and Regina recently to protest COVID-19 restrictions and try to discredit health experts, government officials and the media. Clark says people should think twice before attending a similar rally planned for this weekend in Saskatoon. To anyone thinking about attending another anti-mask rally in Saskatoon this weekend give your head a shake. Do not join a rally that tells people to go out and endanger the lives of others, Clark s first tweet said.
