Real Canadian Superstore and No Frills say starting Saturday, Aug. 29, masks or face coverings will be mandatory at all their locations across Canada, according to posts to customers on social media. A Vancouver Superstore location says there will be exemptions to the policy for children and people unable to wear masks due to medical reasons. The reactions online to the posts were mixed, but the two companies say they're doing it to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Real Canadian Superstore has 28 locations around B.C., while No Frills has 23. Since April, workers at three Real Canadian Superstores and one No Frills in the Lower Mainland have tested positive for COVID-19.
