Rent reduced for Riders, early budget items approved by Regina Council
3h ago
Council retroactively slashed $1.33 million in rent owed by the Roughriders.
The City of Regina has dropped its requirement for wearing masks in city facilities and on buses, but it said in a media release Monday that mask use is still “strongly encouraged.”
On Monday at 12:01 a.m., the Saskatchewan government lifted its public health order calling for masks to be worn in public indoor places. The city removed that requirement to align with the province’s public health orders.
“The health, safety and well-being of employees and residents remain a top priority for the City of Regina,” the city said in the release. “We will continue to make masks available for visitors to city facilities and to riders on Regina Transit.”
The city said it will continue to speak with public health officials as it monitors the state of COVID-19 in the region.
