The P.E.I. government is spending between $30,000 and $35,000 to make face masks available for low-income Islanders at all food bank locations across the province.
The masks are three-ply, non-medical, and reusable. The province has collaborated with the P.E.I Association of Food Banks to distribute masks to Islanders in need.
Non-medical masks or face coverings became mandatory in all public spaces in Prince Edward Island as of November 20.
Every Islander deserves access to protection against COVID-19 with the health and safety of Islanders as a priority.
