City of Canton

As of July 25, 2020, per Governor Walz’s executive order, people in Minnesota are required to wear a face covering in public indoor spaces. This includes all City of Canton facilities. All visitors to city hall, the town hall and fire hall must have their nose and mouth fully covered, unless exempt from this order.

Face masks can be manufactured or homemade cloth coverings, or disposable coverings. Signs indicating the face covering requirement are posted at all entrances to city buildings. Unless working alone, city employees are required to wear face coverings.

Additionally, employees must wear a covering when working outdoors in situations where social distancing cannot be maintained. Reminder: Individuals also have the option to conduct most city-related business over the phone, online and through the dropbox located outside city hall. Minnesota’s face covering requirement remains in effect until the state’s peacetime emergency ends.
