Do what you want. But, I personally believe we should still be wearing #masks in public settings. Especially very crowded indoor public areas. For the time being at least. Who's with me? #Ottawa #Ontario #MaskUp #WearAMask #MaskMandate #COVID19 #COVID #CovidIsNotOver #DougFord

Ottawa Public Health @HealthOttawa is strongly recommending the wearing of a well-fitted mask in any indoor and/or crowded public setting. Will you wear one? #Ottawa #Ontario #Canada #MaskUp #mask @boomottawa

Question. Do you still wear a #mask in public indoor settings? Judging from what I see, about 1 in 10 people now do. If not less. Should we still be wearing one? I'm curious about your thoughts on this. For the record. I still put mine on #Ottawa #Ontario #Canada #COVID19 #COVID

Masks will no longer be mandatory in most indoor settings in #Ontario starting (tomorrow) Monday. Will you still be wearing yours? For now, my answer is YES #Ottawa #masks #maskmandate #COVID19 #COVID

1/2 One year ago today, this very hour, I lost my mother. It's been a challenging twelve months. Today is hard. Grief is a friend to nobody. But, I do my best each day. I get up. I dress up. I show up. Because, parents want that for us. Happiness, success. I'm forever grateful.

I think in public #mask wearing is sitting at about 2-4% percent now. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong. But this is my observation. For the record, I still #maskup as much as possible. Thoughts? #Ottawa #Ontario #COVID19 #COVID

1/2 New Year's Eve by myself. First time in my life. Last year, it was just mom and I. In this very condo. As we grieved over losing dad. Everyone wants this year to disappear. I don't as much. Mom was still here during 2020. She'll never see 2021. Don't wish life and time away.
