In 2022, Mason introduced a new bylaw forcing convenience stores in residential neighbourhoods to close by 11pm, receiving unanimous support from council.

Mason's grandfather, John Burton Waye, served in the Second World War with the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division as an engineer. In 2016, Mason travelled to the Netherlands where he retrieved a helmet that belonged to his grandfather. The helmet was badly damaged from when a military vehicle his grandfather was driving in was struck by a German mortar. He survived the attack, but was left permanently deaf in one ear. Mason stated that his grandfather spoke little of his time in the war, and discovering the events he endured in the decades after his death was an emotionally impactful experience.<ref>{{cite news |last=Donovan |first=Moira |date=10 November 2016 |title=Coun.
