Jacob Faithful says the company can make about 80 masks a minute. (François Joly/Radio-Canada)
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.

What is Land‐based learning?
NorQuest College will launch its new
Indigenous Studies Diploma Program in September, 2021, and with that program comes a for‐credit course in Land‐based learning. What is Land‐based learning? Basically, it is what it sounds like – learning, outdoors, on the land! But it is so much more. Learning on the land allows students to recognize the spiritual, environmental, and physical connections between Indigenous peoples and the land. It takes students out of the confines of the traditional classroom and gives them a hands‐on approach to learning about Indigenous cultures. Instead of just reading about Indigenous cultural practices, students participate in them.
