Officers continue to focus on educating Edmontonians who aren’t wearing face coverings on the potential impacts of their decision on the health of others around them. When officers see someone not wearing a face covering, they will often offer a free mask as a first response. If these tactics do not work, enforcement and fines are considered. Enforcement has been ramped up at different phases throughout the pandemic.
A dedicated team of City of Edmonton enforcement officers, Edmonton Fire Rescue Services and partners from AHS, the Edmonton Police Service and Alberta Occupational Health and Safety have teamed up to create the Health Safety Compliance Team. The City’s enforcement officers work jointly with this team to evaluate and respond to citizen complaints related to public health restrictions that come in from 311, online systems and other channels.
