A 67-year-old woman battling lung cancer was shown without a mask from a bingo hall from Nantario or helping her breathe without covering a hole in her throat.
Elaine RBU was told to leave Delta Bingo Pickering and was kicked out by an employee because her throat holes were hidden, her son BJ Gilbert wrote in a Facebook post.

“She explained that it was impossible to do so,” Gilbert wrote. “That’s the way it breathes.”
Gilbert said his mom’s decision to set up was “on his side and flooring”, which required a mask or facial inks to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
After a six-month lockdown after the Cobid-19 ban began to ease, Arabiu, who wanted to play bingo with her son or go to a casino with her friends, felt she had been discriminated against because of her physical disability.
Non-medical masks are mandatory in the Durham area at commercial establishments, although there are some exceptions. For example, it is not necessary if a mask “in any way impedes a person’s ability to breathe”.
Arbeau tried to go to the casino again on Saturday but he returned once more, his son said.
She recorded their interactions with casino staff and heard employees on video telling Arbeau that Bingo Hall was private property and that they could “order whatever rules they wanted.”
Because of her breathing hole, which makes it difficult to speak, Arbao struggles to tell the employee that she feels she has the right to be there. But she still refuses to admit.

“What they did was wrong,” Gilbert told CTV News Toronto. “The hole cannot be covered because she breathes this way, she does not breathe through her mouth or nose.
“If you cover it, you could even snatch someone’s life support.”
Delta Bingo CEO Cam Johnston told the network he would take a hard look at the case but said people who cannot wear masks would not visit his establishment at this time.
“I’ll give a verdict soon,” Johnston said. “But we should choose that people who are unable to wear masks should not be present. I think it is best for them.”
Johnston said he sympathized with Arabiu but said safety should be his “first priority at this time”.

“We are trying to keep everyone safe but my first concern and first responsibility is the health and safety of all our customers and employees,” he said.
