Access to PPE (personal protective equipment) is one of independent business owners’ top concerns as governments look to reopen the economy. That’s why we created a Facebook group to connect business owners buying and selling PPE. (Don’t have a Facebook account? Email us at [email protected] for support.)
Some provinces are also making information about accessing PPE available. We’ve compiled links you can use to find more suppliers in your province.
