Per renewed regulations from the province, both the District of Kent and Village of Harrison Hot Springs announced returning mask regulations, effective Wednesday, Aug. 25.
During a press conference on Tuesday (Aug. 24), provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry announced all British Columbians would be required to wear masks in all indoor public places. This comes after the mandate was lifted as B.C. entered phase 3 of its restart plan in early July.
