Lifestyle: 8 Canadian Companies Selling Cloth Masks Online

Where to Buy Masks Online in Canada


Times have changed and there is one 'accessory' that has very quickly become a necessity.

in 2020, cloth face masks have become an important part of our daily reality. The CDC  now recommends people wear them when they are visiting places where maintaining social distance is difficult.




Since regulation PPE should be reserved for front line workers and medical professionals, I've spent some time searching for some local retailers from whom I could purchase a few reusable
cloth masks for my family.

For anyone looking for the same thing, I thought I'd compile a list of small and large Canadian companies who are carrying masks in their online shops.

Who is Behind the Masks?

Many of these companies have embraced innovation in order to supply masks to frontline workers, businesses and retail customers. Other suppliers are citizens who decided to sew masks as a side project to raise funds for COVID research or to help supply PPE to those who need it.

Raubia, the woman behind Maskover.ca started sewing when Toronto hospitals asked for volunteers to make fabric masks.

"I immediately felt I had to dust off my sewing machine and do my part to help out. It really was a call to action for me and I wanted to help however I could."

Purchases on her site help her to continue making masks so she can donate them to people and communities in need.

Like Raubia (and the other suppliers mentioned here) I want to do my part by supporting local businesses who are making efforts to stop the spread.

More then ever before, it's important to support Canadian brands as much as possible, so we can help these small and large businesses stay strong through this difficult time.

Note: I decided to buy 2-3 masks per person in my household and supported a few of these local companies in the process. Hope you do the same if you're looking for face masks for personal use.
