GM Canada switched gears to help the pandemic effort over the past year by producing 10 million face masks at cost for the Public Health Agency of Canada.
The masks were produced at the company’s Oshawa Operations plant and they completed the production run on April 8.
The plant produced approximately 1 million marks per month to help protect front-line workers and Canadians during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The company issued a statement saying, “This past year hasn’t been easy, but so many of you stepped up to help by donating gloves, hand sanitizers, and masks to our collection depots across Canada, offered vehicles to local restaurants to help keep their doors open, running prescriptions and groceries to senior in-need, and by donating to foodbanks, shelters and community services.”
