Bruce Power announced Wednesday that it will have provided over 100 front-line organizations and Ontario’s Ministry of Health and Ministry of Long Term Care with 1.2 million pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) as part of the fight against COVID-19. This represents the largest announced private-sector donation of PPE in Canada to date.

“Thanks to the focus of the entire Bruce Power team, we have been able to move urgently and decisively to deliver the largest announced private-sector donation of PPE in Canada through procurement and the retooling of our supply chain to make products here at home," said Mike Rencheck, Bruce Power’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

The company recently announced that it had committed to distributing 600,000 pieces and is now doubling this commitment with all materials fully distributed to front-line organization by the end of April. This has been made possible through the rapid scaling of activities at a record-pace as the demand for these materials is increasing by also making new products here in Ontario by partnering with its supply chain to retool.
