When and How to Wear a Mask?

Use of anon-medical masks and face coverings is made mandatory by the Ministry of Health in indoor public spaces and when using public transit.
At Clarkridge Career Institute, wearing a non-medical mask or face covering is mandatory when in common indoor spaces, including classrooms and labs.

Mask and Face covering requirements:

  • A mask must fit snuggly (without gapping) to cover the nose, mouth, and chin.
  • Allow for easy breathing
  • Fit securely to the head with ties or ear loops
  • Be comfortable and not require frequent adjustments

Use of masks with exhalation valves are not recommended by the Government of Canada.These types of masks have been proven to be ineffective as a source control measure and will not be considered as a suitable form of face covering by Clarkridge Career Institute.

Face shields can be used as an extra layer of protection but CANNOT be used to replace masks or face covering.

Face covering exceptions:

Exceptions will be provided to individuals who are unable to wear a mask due to a medical condition or a disability.

Face covering exception requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case biases.

If you want to submit a face coving expectation request, please send us an e-mail at support@clarkridge.com

All face covering exception requests have to be approved by Clarkridge Career Institute.
