Continuous partnership with Hope and Healing International to support Zambia community

In the warmth of a bustling, a newly constructed mothers’ shelter and maternity annex in rural Zambia, a tiny heartbeat echoes a powerful tale of hope—a story that began with the spirit of giving in the hearts of Canadians thousands of miles away. This heartbeat belongs to a Zambian premature baby girl, who against all odds, is thriving thanks to a life-saving gift: an incubator funded by our generous customers of CANADAMASQ

Before –Incubator made of Plywood
After - with your Generosity
The spirit of giving from 664 supporters of CANADAMASQ
Back in Christmas 2022, a remarkable gathering of 664 supporters from our valued customers of CANADAMASQ, resulted in a heartfelt fundraiser that was more than just a campaign; it was a collective pledge to extend a helping hand over 12,000 kilometers (about 7456.45 mi), from frosty Canadian landscapes to the warmth of an African community in need. With open hearts and immense generosity, a total of $7,670 was raised, securing not one but two precious incubators for a women’s shelter in rural Zambia.

The Journey of Hope
The incubators’ voyage from our community to the Zambian shelter was not without its challenges. It was a journey fraught with logistical challenges and the sheer complexity of navigating the delivery through remote landscapes. Thank you to our caring and supportive partner, Hope and Healing International and their local partners in Africa, they made it possible. The 2 incubators traveled across oceans and land, a testament to our unwavering commitment. The joy on the faces of the shelter staff when the incubators and other medical equipment arrived was a profound reminder of why we persevere through such challenges.
Impact on the Ground
Sub-Saharan Arica, the region that Zambia is located, faces the world’s highest preterm birth rates, with staggering 40% of deliveries occurring prematurely. The neonatal mortality rate is a heartbreaking 27 deaths per 1000 live births, accounting for 43% of global newborn deaths. This dire situation places a critical spotlight on the life-giving impact of the incubators funded by our incredible customers. With the enhanced capability to nurture the fragile lives of preterm babies, the shelter has begun to rewrite the story of neonatal care in their community, providing a beacon of hope where it’s needed most.
The gratitude from Zambia
A recent visit of Hope and Healing delivered heartwarming messages from the women’s shelter and coincide with the incubator’s arrival. Sr. Constansia Lungu, the facility administrator, expressed heartfelt gratitude. “Today, we stand on the threshold of a brighter future for our mothers and children,” she said. She highlighted the transformative impact of the donated equipment from Canada Masq Corporation and Hope and Healing, ensuring safer deliveries and better outcomes for newborns.
Delphine Lutenda, an expectant mother, also shared her appreciation. “We are truly blessed to have the new maternity annex and mother’s shelter, thanks to the generosity of CHAZ and Stanbic Bank (Hope and Healing’s local partners), and a heartfelt thank you to Hope and Healing for ensuring the facility is fully equipped. This will make a huge difference for all the mothers in our community.”
A Future Filled with Promise
The new facilities, equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment, are more than just buildings; they represent a beacon of hope. They offer a supportive environment for mothers during crucial times and give newborns a healthier start, contributing to a stronger and healthier community. The partnership between Canada Masq Corporation and Hope and Healing International exemplifies the power of collaboration in creating lasting positive changes.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude for all your generous support, which has been instrumental in realizing this transformative journey. If you would like to continue supporting this journey, please click the button below.

Should You Wear a Mask for Wildfire Smoke Prevention? The Case of Recurring Wildfires in Canada


The escalating climate crisis has led to an increase in wildfire frequency and intensity around the globe, with regions such as Canada witnessing recurrent wildfires. Wildfires not only wreak havoc on ecosystems and communities but also compromise air quality, affecting public health significantly. The urgent question for individuals in fire-prone regions is whether they should wear masks to prevent exposure to wildfire smoke.

Wildfires, such as those recurrently seen in Canada, unleash a potent mix of gases and fine particles into the atmosphere. This is the result of burning vegetation and building materials. These minute particles, also known as PM2.5 due to their diameter of 2.5 micrometers or smaller, pose a serious health risk. They can penetrate deep into the lungs, causing inflammation and exacerbating conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

In these circumstances, wearing a mask can provide a degree of protection from inhaling these hazardous particles. However, the effectiveness of the mask significantly depends on its type and the correctness of its usage.

Typical cloth masks or surgical masks, which are effective in curbing the spread of diseases like COVID-19, are not equipped to filter out the tiny particulate matter present in wildfire smoke. For such purposes, respirators such as N95 or P100 are recommended. These masks are adept at filtering out 95% and 99.97% of airborne particles, respectively, including the ultrafine PM2.5 particles.

It’s important to note that these masks need to fit correctly to provide protection. A loose fit can allow unfiltered air to leak into the mask. Some models come with exhalation valves for easier breathing. However, these valves can let exhaled air, which may carry viruses, escape. Therefore, during pandemics, health authorities do not recommend masks with exhalation valves.

Additionally, people with pre-existing conditions like heart disease or respiratory problems, or those unaccustomed to wearing these masks, may find it hard to breathe with them on. Therefore, they should consult with healthcare professionals before using such masks.

While masks can offer a level of protection, they are not a substitute for other preventative measures. Staying indoors, ideally in an environment with filtered air, is the most effective way to reduce exposure to wildfire smoke. Keeping windows and doors closed, using air purifiers, and avoiding activities that increase indoor pollution are also beneficial strategies.

In conclusion, especially in regions like Canada that suffer from recurrent wildfires, masks, particularly N95 or P100 respirators, can be a valuable tool in the battle against harmful particles in wildfire smoke, provided they are used correctly. Nevertheless, masks should be regarded as part of a broader strategy to safeguard health in such situations, and public health advice, tailored to the specific conditions and risks, should always be heeded.

Heart to Zambia – 5 million masks, 5 million blessings


Part 1: Planting a Seed of Compassion
We are deeply grateful for the support and interest showed by everyone who has contacted us regarding CANADAMASQ’s initiative in Zambia following our CTV interview. It warms our hearts to see that there are many caring individuals concerned about underprivileged communities. This support encourages us to keep making a difference in society.

You might be curious about how CANADAMASQ, located 12,589km away from Zambia, managed to establish this connection. It all began amid the pandemic in 2021…

As CANADAMASQ worked tirelessly to produce millions of masks to safeguard Canadians, we recognized that numerous communities worldwide still had limited access to essential healthcare supplies.

Through the Toronto-based charity Hope and Healing International, we learned about the dire situation in southern Saharan Africa, where the Omicron variant originated. The acute shortage of COVID-19 protective gear put countless lives at risk, particularly those of children with medical conditions and disabilities.

Moved by this crisis, Anthony Zhao, CANADAMASQ’s CEO, swiftly donated 5 million masks to assist in saving lives in Africa. This act of kindness has sown the seeds of compassion on the African continent.
Part 2: A caring spirits of Canada to Zambia

We felt that adding Maple leaves to our masks would give them a special Canadian touch before sending them off to Zambia. Our close-knit teams at Canada Masq and Hope and Healing are working hand in hand, creating masks from the heart to truly make a difference for those in need.

Our collaboration is all about sharing the warmth, empathy, and kindness that Canadians are known for. By working side by side, Canada Masq and Hope and Healing have combined our passions to help support the communities in Zambia that need essential supplies, like masks, to keep them safe and healthy.

Incorporating the iconic Maple leaf into our masks adds a personal touch, symbolizing the caring spirit of Canada. These Maple leaf masks not only represent our country but also convey a message of hope and strength to the people receiving them in Zambia.

As we gather to craft these special Maple leaf masks, there’s a warm atmosphere of friendship, unity, and understanding. Everyone, whether from Canada Masq or Hope and Healing, feels a deep connection to the Zambian people and is eager to make a positive difference in their lives. It’s in these moments that the true essence of Canadian values shines brightly.

This mask donation highlights the ongoing needs of vulnerable communities in countries like Zambia. Our collaboration is a reminder that when we come together, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of others, regardless of the distance that separates us.

In the end, the collaboration between Canada Masq and Hope and Healing is an inspiring story of empathy, compassion, and unity, driving positive change in the world. Working together to create and donate Maple leaf masks for vulnerable people in Zambia, we extend our hands in friendship and support across borders. As these masks make their journey to Zambia, they’ll symbolize hope, healing, and the power of human connection—values we hold dear as Canadians.

CANADAMASQ celebrating International Women’s day

Empowering Women in PPE Manufacturing: Challenges, Opportunities, and the Critical Role in Public Health

As we celebrate International Women’s Day, it is important to recognize the critical role that women play in the PPE manufacturing industry. Our Production Manager, Julie Wang is sharing her experience working in CANADAMASQ as a woman.

Julie Wang, Production Manager at CANADAMASQ.

“What is a typical day working at CANADAMASQ?”

Julie: “ As the Production Manager at CANADAMASQ, I oversee the day-to-day operations of the production team. I start my day at 7 am by reviewing and solving any issues that occurred from the night shift. I then plan the daily production schedule and tasks and pass them on to shift supervisors. Afterward, I check my emails to see if there are any issues or feedback from customers or the sales team.

On some days, I plan weekly schedules for production and employee shifts. I also check inventory for the products and materials, ensuring that we have sufficient inventory for both. Communication with technicians and Quality Controls is essential to eliminate any unnecessary issues during production. Additionally, I inspect the safety of the manufacturing environment to ensure there is no potential risk that can harm or injure employees at the workplace.

Sometimes, I take the time to chat with employees, making sure their needs are met, and they are happy during their shifts. Before wrapping up for the day, I review the day’s production output and make any necessary adjustments to the next day’s schedule.”

“What’s your favourite part of your work?”

Julie: “As PPE manufacturing is new to Canada, even with my experience in management and leadership roles, I’m still learning about the manufacturing industry and healthcare. I enjoy creating, testing, and implementing new processes for efficiency and productivity. With the expansion of the company, there is always room for improvement and growth, and the company has provided me with many opportunities to grow both personally and professionally.”

                                          Caption: Julie runs a test for our new CSA respirator.

“What are the challenges working in manufacturing as a woman?”

Julie: “As a production manager and a mother of two, I have to be in the production room most of the time, unlike office staff who can work from home. However, the company has been accommodating, allowing me to take extra time off with my kids and husband when needed.

There is a stereotype that men are more suited to the mechanical aspects of manufacturing, but as a woman, I still make an effort to understand the machinery so that when an issue occurs, I know where the problem is and how to solve it.”

Women in PPE Manufacturing: Pros and Cons

As Julie mentioned, the PPE manufacturing industry has its pros and cons for women. On the one hand, PPE manufacturing provides women with a unique opportunity to play a critical role in protecting public health during a global crisis. Women in PPE manufacturing have the opportunity to contribute to a safer and healthier world while also earning a living wage.

However, the PPE manufacturing industry is not without its challenges for women. For one, the industry is traditionally male-dominated, with women making up only a small percentage of the workforce. Additionally, PPE manufacturing is often physically demanding, requiring workers to stand for long periods and knowledge in mechanics and machinery, which can be difficult for some women.

Challenges and Opportunities

Despite the challenges, many women have found success in the PPE manufacturing industry. Some women have started their own PPE manufacturing companies, creating new opportunities for themselves and their communities. Like Julie, some have risen through the ranks of existing companies, becoming leaders and advocates for diversity and inclusion.

However, there is still much work to be done to ensure that women are fully represented in the PPE manufacturing industry. This includes increasing access to training and education programs, as well as creating more flexible work arrangements that accommodate the needs of women and other marginalized groups.

Moving Forward

CANADAMASQ is dedicated to creating more inclusive and equitable opportunities that provide women with the working environment and support they need to succeed.

Masking During The Flu Season

As the weather gets colder and colder, the risk of catching influenza grows higher and higher. Given how prevalent respiratory viruses like COVID are still prevalent, protections like flu masks may be necessary. However, scientific consensus on the use of masks during flu season is split into specific caveats and categories.

Hence, the team at CanadamasQ would like to inform you on whether or not to mask up during flu season.

Healthcare Situations

During this time of year, it’s best to watch out for the telltale symptoms of influenza and other seasonal infections. Harsh coughs, sneezes, and other indicators of sickness are early indicators and should be taken seriously as soon as possible.

If you suspect you have the flu or any other respiratory illness, the best thing is to wear a mask until you can isolate yourself from others. When you are appropriately isolated or if your diagnosis reveals a cause other than infection for your symptoms, you can remove the mask.

Healthcare personnel should also wear procedure masks when in the proximity of a suspected or diagnosed patient. If the patient requires measures such as respirators or IV fluids, additional precautions should be taken to protect against the spread of the infection.

Non-Healthcare Situations

Outside of controlled healthcare environments, the efficacy of flu masks is reduced without the use of additional strategies. When combined with pharmaceuticals (vaccines and anti-virals) and social measures (social distancing) the effectiveness of mask usage increases.

The best option for those diagnosed with seasonal influenza is to stay at home until the symptoms subside to avoid spreading the infection. If their illness becomes acute enough to require hospitalization, they should wear masks during transit, especially in public spaces.

Those who live in close proximity to or interact with high-risk persons, like the elderly, children, and the immunocompromised, should make use of masks to prevent spreading infections among them. Those at high risk of serious complications from respiratory infections should also make use of masks to limit their exposure. This is especially crucial in social settings where the number of people around is high and the chances of interacting with an infected person are uncertain.

CanadamasQ – Certified Medical Grade Face Masks

Using masks during this time is essential in helping you avoid any of the seasonal infections known to plague people. With the addition of further precautions, your health should be secure until the risk of the season passes.

Please contact us if you need high-quality medical grade and pediatric masks. CanadamasQ manufactures its masks in a cutting-edge ISO 8 Clean Room environment.

How Masks Can Safeguard Your Children During Back-To-School Season

A lot has been said about masks in schools and their impact on children and the educational environment. A good amount of it has been based on nothing and is designed to only confuse and inflame the average citizen.

As schools endeavour to protect students from infectious respiratory, pediatric masks can facilitate the safety of children and their teachers in their daily school life. Hence the team at CanadamasQ would like you to know how masks can safeguard your children during back-to-school season.

Pediatric Masks Prevent The Spread of Respiratory Illnesses

 

Given the state of the world in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, protection against the spread of respiratory illnesses is now more important than ever.

Masks in school allow for better protection against respiratory illnesses. By blocking any respiratory drops that escape during talking, sneezing, or coughing, masks can limit the number of people exposed to disease-causing vectors that lead to COVID-19 and other related illnesses.

Masking Will Reduce School Absences

Children’s masks help children and teachers avoid illnesses that are spread through the air. When they avoid falling sick, they spend less time away from school.

This allows them to focus on their studies and the broader school experience at larger. When their education and peer socialization is consistent and uninterrupted, their development into maturity is enhanced.

The Use of Masks Improves Mental Health

When children use masks, they can rest safe and secure in the knowledge that they have protection against infectious diseases. The relief prevents stress and anxiety from building up every time they go to school.

Without the ability to feel safe in school, children tend to suffer from many mental health issues. Separation anxiety, fear when they are away from their parents, is a very common occurrence in these situations. Other issues include panic attacks and social anxiety.

Prolonged periods of anxiety and stress can lead to irritability and anger in children. They can also lead to headaches, stomachaches, fatigue, and insomnia. Even worse, they can create also lead to other mental health issues as they age into teenagers and adults.

CanadamasQ – The Quality You Can Trust

As a parent, you need to do the best you can for your children, especially during this perilous time. Giving them masks for use in school can protect them from COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses. Simultaneously, masks in school can ensure education continuity, improved social skills, and increased mental health. Masks for children should not be demonized, they should be embraced and fully utilized.

Please contact us if you need pediatric masks or any other kind of masks. CanadamasQ is Ontario’s premier supplier of masks and is officially recognized as an ATSM medical-grade mask procurer. A proud member of the Made in Ontario program, we offer surgical-grade masks for adult and pediatric use for use in Canada’s public and private sectors.

Canada Masq – Why Your Mask Needs to be Hypoallergenic

The mandates are gone, the streets are filled with people and cars, and we’re back in the office. The risks of the pandemic, however, are still very prevalent and pose a serious threat to people who are in at-risk health groups. Regardless of the circumstances, whether it’s age, obesity, or an autoimmune condition that is causing your at-risk status, wearing a mask will protect you and other at-risk individuals from the threats of COVID.

Furthermore, COVID is not the only threat to people with weak immune systems – we’re still in the midst of flu season. The flu, as well as many other similar infections, are viral and easily caught. Wearing masks/respirators is the best way to combat these threats.

Some people, however, are not only at-risk for infections but for allergies and other conditions as well. This makes wearing normal masks uncomfortable for a variety of reasons. We’ll be exploring the details of hypoallergenic masks, their benefits, and why they’re the best tool for people who suffer from conditions that make mask-wearing difficult.

What Is a Hypoallergenic Mask?

A hypoallergenic mask is a mask that is constructed with three special layers of hypoallergenic non-woven material. The material isn’t toxic and it absorbs moisture easily, meaning that it provides the wearer with a non-abrasive, comfortable fit.

As mentioned, these masks have three layers. The first layer is an extra soft inner layer that is constructed with hypoallergenic non-woven fabric. This is the layer that your face will have contact with, which is why the hypoallergenic layer is placed first. The second and third layers aren’t actually constructed from hypoallergenic material, as your face will not be in contact with them. Instead, they are made with a high-density melt-blown filter and a hydrophobic non-woven layer, which acts as a shield from invasive droplets and germs.

What do They Protect From?

Hypoallergenic masks protect from COVID, the flu, and other diseases just like all other masks and respirators. The main difference made by hypoallergenic materials, however, is their protection from sources of allergies and their soft, high level of comfort.

Hypoallergenic masks’ defining function is to protect the wearer from pollen and other allergens so they can breathe clearly and comfortably. Moreover, the material used to construct the elastic loops is fabricated from latex-free materials, meaning that people with sensitive skin will not suffer adverse reactions while wearing the mask.

What Happens if You Don’t Wear Hypoallergenic Masks

If you opt to wear normal masks and respirators rather than a hypoallergenic mask, you’re placing yourself at risk of contracting infections and spreading them to others. More importantly for yourself, you’re placing yourself at risk of allergic reactions to pollen and other fine particles. Moreover, for those with sensitive skin, your skin will become red from the harsh rashing that comes as a consequence of low-quality material.

Believe it or not, you’re actually harming the environment if you opt to not wear a hypoallergenic mask. High-quality hypoallergenic masks, such as the ones made by CanadamasQ, are biodegradable. So, if your hypoallergenic mask accidentally gets carried away by the wind, you can rest assured that you’re not harming nature in any way.

Canada Masq – Canadian-Made Masks

Hypoallergenic masks are incredibly high-quality, useful masks that beat typical respirators and masks due to their resistance to pollen and latex-free construction. It means that people who suffer from allergies or skin conditions can protect themselves without being uncomfortable at any point.

Contact CanadamasQ today if you’re interested in buying well-priced, high-quality, and efficient masks that will keep your skin and your lungs happy. We’re a Canadian-owned and operated business, so you can be sure that your interests are our interests!

Why You Should Buy Made-In-Canada Masks

Even as the COVID pandemic wanes, the need for medical-grade masks is still crucial. Protecting yourself and those around you from respiratory illnesses can be facilitated with the use of a disposable mask.

However, the need to import masks into the country has all but disappeared. A made-in-Canada mask is now a better alternative to an imported mask.

Hence, the team at CanadamasQ would like you to know why you should be buying made-in-Canada masks.

Quality Control

Importing masks from other countries introduces a significant number of unknowns into your purchase. Your ability to guarantee the quality of your masks is hindered because of the processes you have no control over.

The quality standards used to make the masks might be subpar and you would have no way of knowing. The chemicals used and the manufacturing process might not meet the same safety standards as a made-in-Canada mask. The imports could end up being ineffective or could contribute to other medical and environmental complications.

Buying Canada-made masks gives you a guarantee of the quality of the masks. The company has to adhere to stringent standards that protect the employees as well as the masks you’re buying. The transport of the masks to your location will be shorter and reduce any risk of contamination before they reach your destination.

Increased Availability

The pandemic increased the demand for masks and local manufacturers struggled to keep up with the increased demand. Special measures were implemented to ensure healthcare workers got the most reliable respirators (N-95) while everyone else used alternatives.

Now, Canadian companies can meet the demand on the market and N-95 masks are available to all who need them. Now that the best masks for preventing respiratory illnesses are available, there is no need to import masks from other countries.

Reduced Economical Strain

The process of acquiring masks from overseas companies is a time-consuming process that also requires a significant financial commitment. This was especially arduous during the pandemic when every country was looking to purchase masks where ever they could be found. Outbidding local interests in that country and shipping it to Canada was always a drain on financial resources. Waiting on the masks’ arrival was very inconvenient and inefficient.

Buying made-in-Canada masks is a more efficient solution all around. With the increased availability of procedure masks, the acquisition costs are greatly reduced. Also, transport is a much simpler and cheaper process due to the reduced distance between your location and the manufacturer. Emergencies that cause a need for specialised products like pediatric masks don’t create the stress and hassle associated with an import.

CanadamasQ – Wholesale Medical Masks and Respirators in Ontario

While the demands of the pandemic may have necessitated importing masks, now purchasing made-in-Canada masks is the better option. The increased safety and security with the additional financial benefits make this an easy choice for any potential customers.

Please contact us for the purchase of medical-grade masks in Ontario. CanadamasQ manufactures ASTM 2100 masks with the aid of an ISO 8 Clean Room.
