- Statement from Welcoming Communities Grey Bruce

Today, there was a poster at an Owen Sound grocery store warning people not to wear masks. The poster is a good example of fear mongering turned into an attack on Islam. In the middle of a pandemic, we urge everyone to understand the true nature of posters like this and recognize that the individuals and groups that put up these posters do not care about your health or your independence.

They are using the precautions that are necessary to keep people safe as a way to push their anti Islam, anti government and anti woman agenda. Stay safe, follow health guidelines and view such false and harmful messaging for what it truly is - hate speech.
