WINNIPEG -- A Winnipeg man wants an explanation, after he said he received a $298 fine for not wearing a mask outdoors.
“I ended up with a $300 ticket for standing outside drinking a coffee,” Robert McCaughan told CTV News Wednesday.
Under the current restrictions, Manitobans must wear masks in indoor public places.
However, there are no rules requiring face coverings outdoors.
“For a person like me who follows all the rules to get dinged with a $300 ticket right before Christmas… It’s ridiculous,” said McCaughan.
The 23-year-old electrician said he was doing work at a strip mall on Leila Avenue last weekend.
He and a coworker stopped for a coffee break outside when McCaughan said an enforcement officer pulled up.
“Within one minute she comes out of her car telling us we’re in violation of code red restrictions and we’re not wearing masks or within six feet of each other.”
