Covid-19 Provincial Measures in Town Facilities 
As of March 21, the Town of Stouffville will no longer require patrons entering Town facilities to wear a mask or face covering in accordance with the Provincial measures announced on March 9. While masks and face coverings are no longer mandated by Public Health, the Town recognizes the importance of personal choice and encourages those who feel more comfortable wearing a mask in public settings to continue to do so.

Visitors are encouraged to self-screen for symptoms prior to entering any Town building. Patrons should remain vigilant and stay home if they are sick until their symptoms subside.
