 +===== History =====
 +
 +==== COVID-19 ====
 +
 +Masks4Canada was formed by a group of doctors and dentists in [[canada:British Columbia]] during the early days of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].((Bullock, C. (2020, October 15). //Masks4Canada group calls for federal mask mandate to slow spread of COVID-19.// Chilliwack Progress. https://web.archive.org/web/20221031024902/https://www.theprogress.com/news/masks4canada-group-calls-for-federal-mask-mandate-to-slow-spread-of-covid-19/))
 +
 +On August 4, 2020, the group published an open letter to [[Bonnie Henry]], [[Adrian Dix]] and Premier [[John Horgan]] asking for the implementation of "mandatory mask wearing (or use of face coverings)".((Harper, T. (2020, August 5). //Kootenay doctor among 82 physicians, dentists calling on province for mandatory mask rule.// Cranbrook Daily Townsman. https://web.archive.org/web/20210925125539/https://www.cranbrooktownsman.com/news/kootenay-doctor-among-82-physicians-dentists-calling-on-province-for-mandatory-mask-rule/)) They additionally recommended "the implementation of a public education initiative on the benefits of mask wearing and its proper usage in limiting the spread of [[COVID-19]]." They cited the following studies:
