Announcements and Events
The City’s Human Needs Task Force is seeking donations of non-medical masks to give
vulnerable residents.
The City is seeking:
Masks made of at least two layers of tightly woven fabric that is breathable, like cotton
sheets, quilters cotton and flannel
Masks with pockets or slots for replaceable filters
Masks used to cover other masks or respirators to prolong their use
How to donate
Please email donations@ottawa.ca to set up an appointment for drop-off. You must follow
physical distancing when dropping off donations.
Wearing a non-medical mask is not a replacement for physical distancing, hand washing and
monitoring your health. Staying two metres away from people you don’t live with is important
but isn’t always possible in public spaces. Wearing a mask adds an extra layer of protection,
especially for others in case you have COVID-19; it may also help reduce your risk in case
others have COVID-19.
For more information about non-medical masks, visit Ottawa Public Health’s website and
Health Canada's website.
