The United Way will be selling individual reusable cloth masks at 10 transit stations from Monday, July 13, until Friday, July 17, from 6 am to 9 am each day. Volunteers from Ottawa Public Health will also be on-site to provide information on mask best practices. All United Way staff and OPH volunteers were provided with safety training and they will be required to wear masks and face shields.
