THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntosh CALGARY – City council in Calgary has voted to repeal its masking bylaw, days before the start of the Stampede. Last week, the provincial government lifted most of its COVID-19 public health restrictions but Calgary left its masking bylaw in place until Monday. Calgarians will no longer be required to wear face coverings indoors except in city-owned spaces and vehicles, including public transit. The city’s administration, which had previously recommended keeping the mandatory mask rule in place until July 31, recently asked council to rescind the bylaw.
