Ontario Premier Doug Ford urges masking, stops short of imposing mandate
CBC
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is urging the province's residents to wear masks, but stopped short of mandating them.
Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore is set to make an announcement on Monday where he will recommend the public wear masks.
Ford did not answer repeated questions Sunday about mandating masks in any settings, saying only he'll listen to Dr. Moore's recommendation.
Health-care officials have increasingly been calling for the province to implement a mask mandate.
Those calls come as children's hospitals across the province are overwhelmed, with many operating over capacity.
The CEO of Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children says universal masking will help beleaguered pediatric hospitals.
P.E.I.'s Public Schools Branch is looking for 50 substitute bus drivers, and it'll be recruiting at three job fairs on Saturday, June 8. The job fairs are located at the Atlantic Superstore in Montague, Royalty Crossing in Charlottetown, and the bus parking lot of Three Oaks Senior High in Summerside. All three run from 9 a.m. until noon. Dave Gillis, the director of transportation and risk management for the Public Schools Branch, said the number of substitute drivers they're hiring isn't unusual. "We are always looking for more. Our drivers tend to have an older demographic," he said.
