THUNDER BAY – A pair of local General Motors dealerships are helping mask those in need in Thunder Bay.
Representatives of Dominion Motors and Badanai Motors on Tuesday donated a combined 4,000 face masks to the Indigenous Friendship Centre.
The masks will be handed out to the centre’s clients, many of whom cannot afford the cost of the disposable personal protective equipment that are required to enter businesses and serve as a barrier to spreading COVID-19 in the community.
