Jacob Faithful had to be true to his name when he started his new business.
When COVID-19 hit, he had just started a janitorial business in Frog Lake, Alta. But with the pandemic worsening, clients approached him to see if he had masks and other personal protection equipment.
A light bulb went on.
He spent the next several months calling suppliers around the world and eventually sent money to China for a machine that would allow him to make his own masks.
