Last week, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance implementing fines against individuals who refuse to wear a face covering over their nose and mouth and commercial entities who allow these violations in their establishments.

Enforcement officers must personally observe an individual’s violation but can also receive a credible report for a business.

If you observe violations at businesses or gatherings, you may report them to the Burlingame Police Department (non-emergency line) at 650-777-4100 so officers can observe and respond.    

Who knew face masks could be so fashion forward? Can you tell who's behind the exquisite styles below? Visit the City's Twitter page to find out. Email your mask selfie to City Clerk Meaghan Hassel-Shearer at mhasselshearer@burlingame.org. #Burlingamewearsmasks

The Burlingame Parks and Recreation Department is excited to announce its fall sports offerings to students in grades 4 through 8!

This fall will look a little different as the Department works hard to align with current COIVD-19 health guidelines. Physical distancing of at least six feet will be enforced and stable cohorts for each program will be established. Classes will be offered in the following sports: volleyball, flag football, tennis, and cross country. Games and matches are not possible due to health guidelines. As such, classes will focus on skill development and training.

Space is limited in each sport. Registration is now open! Call 650-558-7300, or register online. Questions? Contact Chris Roman at 650-558-7320, or croman@burlingame.org.

After a one-year hiatus, the popular Burlingame Spirit Run will come back as a virtual race on Labor Day weekend. Hosted by the Burlingame Community for Education Foundation (BCE), this event will allow participants to run or walk their own 5K or 10K race course, choose their own race location, and also determine their own race time. No crowds or waking up early (unless you want to)! 

Proceeds from the race will benefit BCE, which raises money for all public schools in the Burlingame School District. People from all around the Bay Area and beyond are invited and encouraged to participate by running or walking, or even hiking or logging miles on their treadmills. After you’ve finished, to log your effort, enter your completed race time on the Spirit Run website any time Labor Day weekend.
