NOW Magazine Sew TO turns reusable masks into wages and skills for vulnerable Torontonians Sponsored feature: Live Green Toronto By NOW Staff Sometimes a disaster can turn into an opportunity.

For the last few years, it’s been preparing to launch a sewing collective. Then, overnight, everything changed.
