The City of Grande Prairie announced on Friday that as of September 1, masks will be mandatory on all city transit buses.

The city says the goal is to ensure people continue to feel confident and comfortable in the safety of transit services, as ridership will increase because of kids going back to school.

Masks exemptions have been made for the following:
