Why wear a reusable facemask?
It looks like we'll be asked to wear facemasks for a while yet. One of the reasons I started this endeavour is because I want to encourage people to use washable masks rather than single-use masks. Just think of all the masks we can help keep out of landfills!
Also, I hope people will choose masks that are made locally, rather than mass-produced overseas. While some of the fabrics I use may be milled outside Canada, I buy 99% of my fabrics and other supplies from local retailers.
I donate 50% of my profit to a number of carefully chosen charities. Scroll down for details.
Let kindness be your default position.
Ottawa Public Health has developed an excellent resource for guidance on the wearing of fabric masks. Click on the button below.
Well that feels good!
