Ottawa’s Queensway Carleton Hospital has thanked two local contractors for donating N95 masks, goggles and gloves “to help all our frontline workers.”
“The smiles on the faces of our staff show how grateful we are for acts of kindness like this,” the Queensway Hospital Foundation posted on its Twitter feed after Tomlinson Group employees dropped off 1,000 of the masks generally used for jobsite applications, but now valuable as protection against the COVID-19 virus.”
As well, R.E. Hein Construction Ltd. which has been working on the hospital’s 1976 building renovations over the last year, donated 1,000 pairs of goggles and 68 boxes of gloves to the hospital.
“They have been such a great crew to work with and this donation shows how caring they are,” the hospital foundation tweeted last Tuesday.
