We are a group of citizens who are calling on the Provincial government to reconcile the provincial mask mandate for school aged children to include the following –
1. Prohibit, or make optional the practice of wearing a mask while outdoors (i.e.- recess or outdoor gym)
2. Prohibit, or make optional the practice of wearing a mask during any organized physical activity indoors.
3. Recognize that the World Health Organization advises against children wearing masks during sports and physical activity. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19): Children and masks (who.int)
4. Encourage organized sports and physical activity without masks to maintain and promote the physical and mental health of children in the community.
Spring and Summer are soon approaching and we will begin to see a rise in temperature. Concerning is the idea that children will continue to engage in physical activity while wearing masks outdoors in hot temperatures. This practice may compromise the safety and well-being of children.
Working together to keep children healthy and safe.
Kind regards,
Concerned Citizens of Manitoba

I am currently finalizing a formal briefing document that outlines the specific research regarding physical exertion and mask use in school environments. Once this document is complete, it will be delivered directly to the offices of provincial education officials to request a formal review of existing policies.

Mask mandates, isolation, over sanitizing and physical distancing are negatively effecting our children. My heart hurts for the price they are paying. I am tired of hearing kids are resilient. Just because someone is resilient doesn't mean you have the right to abuse them anyways.
Masks shouldn’t be mandatory at all! But I will start by signing this because wearing a mask during physical activities is beyond absurd and dangerous to our children’s health.
Masks should be a choice not mandatory. Breathing is crucial for life and well being. Inhibiting access with a mandate needs to stop.
Mask mandate and separation is hurting our school aged kids!
No masks mandate.
Healthy children should not wear masks and especially during physical activity!
They shouldn't be wearing them at all.

Follow the science on this. Kids aren’t spreading Covid so they shouldn’t be forced to wear a mask for hours of the day. Mask experts also say that a mask shouldn’t be worn if damp or soiled, and should be switching to a new mask after that happens and never wear the same mask for more Than 4 hours. Please look into this, and how it affects children. Thank you for your time!
