RCMP issued a $1,000 ticket to the owner of Hellas Restaurant for failing to wear a mask according to Public Health orders. The ticket was delivered Friday after Hellas' owner John Giannakos railed online against mask-wearing, sparking complaints to police and Public Health. Brian Cameron told CBC the ticket cites Section 71 of the Health Protection Act, which requires a mask to cover the nose and mouth in all indoor public spaces. Cameron said he couldn't confirm who received the ticket, except that it was a restaurant worker, but Giannakos said online that it was him. In another video, Giannakos complains about government-ordered restaurant closures.
