In a media release Monday, the provincial government said it bought 18,000 face shields and 4 million disposable masks from the Saskatoon-based company. The products are to be used in the province’s schools to help limit the spread of COVID-19. “Our government is pleased to support Saskatchewan-based personal protective equipment suppliers while protecting students, school staff and families,” Education Minister Dustin Duncan said in the release. “We continue to work closely with the education sector to identify how we can best support their school-based needs.”
