I'm in US not Canada, but my apartment has the same thing. I ignore it most of the time and no one has said anything yet. What are they going to do, kick you out? There is nothing in the lease about a mask mandate, so I'd like them to try and enforce it.
At Westdale properties in Toronto they go the next level. In addition to the signs the staff will harass you and management sends us emails encouraging the tenants to monitor and rat out your neighbours if they don’t comply. We’re done with Westdale and moving into a house next month.
The following persons are exempted from requiring a mask and will not be required to provide proof of such exemption, any person who:
• is younger than two (2) years of age,
• has an underlying health condition that prevents them from safety wearing a Mask,
• is unable to put on or remove their Mask without the assistance of another person,
• is reasonably accommodated by not wearing a Mask under the Ontario Human Rights Code,
R.S.O. 1990, c.H.19, as amended, or
• is employed by or is an agent of the Operator of an Enclosed Public Space and:
o is in an area of the premises that is not designated for public access, or
o is within or behind a physical barrier (e.g., Plexiglass).
I am reasonably accommodated by not wearing a Mask under the Ontario Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c.H.19.
I am not required to provide proof of this accommodation under Ottawa Mandatory Mask Temporary By-law Section 2 sub-section 2.
Alternatively you can go with the bylaw exemption Section 2 sub-section 1b, medical limitations: breathing or cognitive difficulties. You're too cognitively impaired to wear a mask and you don't have to prove it, bit you can show them your GME stocks that you bought at $330 if anyone doesn't believe you.
That said, if the owner of a store says to wear a mask, do so. It's private property; their store, their rules.
Thank you for citing relevant statutes but you are mistaken on store owners' requiring you to wear a mask due to the store being their private property.
In order to open a business you must obtain a business license. As part of your license you are extending a general invitation to the public to be on your property. Discrimination based on identifiable factors remains illegal, this includes medical status just like race or sex.
Respecting the wishes of store owners isn't a matter of law for me, it's a point of good manners. If I have a choice between a store that requires masks and a store that doesn't, ill choose the latter.
Just imagine having to wear a mask in your own apartment jfl. Fuck fighting these sanctimonious assholes, you're literally better off either taking a mortgage out on a house or moving somewhere without mask restrictions.
They only have the power if you comply, if you’re scared of getting in shit or even arrested then you may as well just concede your freedom and be done with it all. I have never put one on my face I will never put one on my face, I also go on with my business as usual.
Condo boards and home owners associations are both run by power tripping Karen’s that love to harass people.

It just takes people standing up to the bullshit.

My apartment building has had those signs for many months now. I ignore them and continue on with my life as normal.
