    Whereas the City of Burlington declared a Climate Emergency on April 23rd, 2019, for the purposes of deepening our commitment to protecting our economy, environment and community from climate change; and

    Whereas local governments are at the frontlines of taking actions to manage the worst impacts of climate change, creating low carbon communities and calling on senior levels of government for a more urgent response; and

    Whereas the City of Burlington approved a Climate Action Plan on April 20, 2020 with a target to become a net carbon neutral community by 2050, recognizing that completing deep energy retrofits of existing buildings is a priority to achieve this target; and

    Whereas Covid-19 has had a significant impact on the Canadian and local economy and that programs to support deep energy retrofits of existing buildings can help to stimulate the economy and create jobs while meeting environmental targets; and

    Whereas Covid-19 has diminished the financial resources of local municipalities to fight climate change;

    Now therefore be it resolved; 

    That the City of Burlington requests that federal and provincial governments develop complementary programs to support municipal efforts to improve the energy efficiency of existing buildings through incentives, rebates and subsidies, including a deep energy retrofit program; and

    That the development of these programs be expedited as part of a Canadian green stimulus or other expenditure to recover from the economic impacts of COVID-19; and

    Whereas the spread of COVID-19 has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, the City of Burlington has declared a State of Emergency, and the province remains under emergency orders due to the health risks to Ontario residents arising from COVID-19; and

    Whereas COVID-19 continues to be present within the City of Burlington and surrounding municipalities, and is a disease that is readily communicable from person to person, even with minimal or no signs of symptoms or illness, and carrying a risk of serious complications such as pneumonia or respiratory failure, multiple organ failure, kidney failure, liver failure, neurological complications, and may result in death; and

    Whereas there is a growing body of evidence on the effectiveness of masks and face coverings to act as a barrier to prevent the spread of COVID-19; and

    Whereas the wearing of masks and face coverings may act as an ongoing visual clue and reminder that public health measures, including hand-washing and maintaining a safe physical distance from others, are still required, that the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and that a resurgence of local disease activity remains an ongoing threat; and

    Whereas the Province of Ontario has enacted O.

    Whereas physical distancing can be difficult to maintain in enclosed, indoor spaces open to the public; and

    Whereas the City of Burlington wants to be prepared for the eventual Stage 3 reopenings under the provincial Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, and use every tool available to protect residents from a resurgence of COVID-19;

    Therefore, be it resolved that Burlington City Council enact a temporary bylaw requiring individuals, organizations or corporations that are responsible for the operation of a facility or business, which have indoor, enclosed spaces open to the public, to ensure no member of the public is permitted unless wearing a mask or face covering in a manner which covers their mouth, nose and chin, subject to the exemptions below, to help limit the spread of COVID-19; and

    4. The person is unable to place or remove a mask or face covering without assistance.
    5. Employees and agents of the person responsible for the establishment are within an area designated for them and not for public access, or within or behind a physical barrier.
    6. Staff identify any other such exemptions that may be advisable, including emotional well-being, mental health, summer camps and registered activities; and

    That employees working with members of the public in an enclosed, indoor space must also wear a mask or face covering, unless they are in an area not for public access, or they meet one of the exemptions; and

    That the Executive Director of Legal Services & Corporation Counsel be directed to prepare the necessary bylaw for consideration by City Council on July 13, 2020; and

    1. seeking a sponsor to fund or procure/provide masks that would be supplied free of charge to the public, with the sponsor and/or city logo displayed on the mask, and distributed by the city or through the sponsor;
    2. issuing a request for proposals to local businesses to provide a quote on the cost to supply the city with masks that can be distributed to the public, either by the city or by the business, then billed to the city;
