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.

Should I Wear A Mask?

You may be asking yourself, should I wear a mask? This question is commonly asked now that we’ve been dealing with the pandemic for a few years and people have been vaccinated. In this article, we’ll cover the benefits of wearing a mask for the safety of yourself and those around you.

 

Benefits Of Wearing A Mask

Reduce viral transmissions like COVID-19. Wearing masks are proven to help slow the spread of COVID-19 by reducing the transmission of droplets and some aerosols from someone who is sick with the virus.

Stop the spread of colds and illnesses during flu season. Again, similar to reducing the spread of COVID-19, masks also help reduce the spread of colds. Masks should be worn in high-traffic areas not only to protect you from COVID-19 but during periods of increased illness like the flu season.

Wearing a mask is good hygiene practice in general. Pre-pandemic, medical professionals like dentists, surgeons, and doctors all wore masks to protect themselves and others from contracting illnesses. Also, in some cultures, individuals commonly wear masks when they aren’t feeling well or have cold symptoms. This isn’t a new concept for the general public depending on where you live, it’s just many people aren’t quite used to it yet.

Believe it or not, masks can help with allergies! Whether you’re visiting a friend that has a cat you’re allergic to, or you get seasonal allergies, masks are a great way to reduce your symptoms. A mask can act as a barrier for the nose and stop allergens from reaching you. Just be sure to change out your mask as frequently as you see fit.

Are You A Person Of High Risk?

If you’re an immunocompromised individual or live with someone who has a higher risk of contracting illnesses, wearing a mask might be a good idea. If you or someone you live with have any of the following medical conditions, it’s strongly recommended to wear a mask to protect from severe illnesses like COVID-19.

  • Cancer

  • Chronic kidney, lung, or liver disease

  • Cystic fibrosis

  • Dementia or other neurological conditions

  • Diabetes

  • Heart conditions

  • Pregnancy

  • And much more

Are You Vaccinated?

When it comes to COVID-19, vaccinated people may still be able to spread the virus and its variants even if they don’t feel ill themselves. The vaccine helps reduce symptoms but does not make you immune from catching it. It’s still helpful to wear a mask, especially if you’re indoors, have poor ventilation, or live in a community with a high rate of infection.

Wearing A Mask Properly

Wearing a mask is beneficial for your safety and the safety of those around you only if worn properly. Otherwise, all the benefits of wearing a mask go out the window! Here are a few things to keep in mind when wearing masks.

  • Ensure you’re wearing a medical mask like our CANADAMASQ CA-N95 for the best protection. However, a non-medical mask is still better than none.

  • Choose a mask that is clean, dry, and damage-free.

  • To be completely effective, a mask should be worn over the mouth, nose, and chin. Be sure the improve the fit of your mask by adjusting the nosepiece and ear loops.

  • Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before and after touching or removing your mask. Use the ties or elastic bands when putting on or removing your mask.

  • Store your mask in a clean paper or cloth bag if you plan on wearing it again.

Ontario Organizations Join Together to Make a Global Impact

CANADAMASQ & Hope and Healing International partner together to create masks at a team-building event.

CANADAMASQ recently donated five million medical-grade adult and pediatric masks to Hope and Healing International’s frontline medical partners in sub-Saharan Africa. Thanks to our partner, Hope and Healing, our masks donation will go to African hospitals and clinics in desperate need of PPE due to shortages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This donation will allow life-saving surgeries and treatment for children with disabilities to continue while reducing the risk for frontline medical workers.

“The donation of these masks will directly lead to more kids walking, playing and going to school, It’s incredible to see a Canadian company like Canada Masq have such a global vision. This is what community is about.” — Ed Epp said – the Hope and Healing’s executive director.

Mark (Finance Director) and Roberto (Warehouse Coordinator) loaded the container to CBCHS – Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services.

“The pandemic again reminded us that we’re in this together, it’s a global village and we have to remember there are people in other parts of the world that suffer,” Zhao says. “We are very fortunate to be here in Canada and we’re fortunate enough to receive all this support from our government and healthcare service providers. We want to help other countries and people who suffer.”
