Bruce Power announced this morning it will be providing 600,000 pieces of personal protective equipment to support the province’s fight against COVID-19, ensuring that front-line workers have the protection they need as the heroes supporting our families and communities.
The company’s President and CEO, Mike Rencheck, made the announcement during a conversation with Ontario Premier Doug Ford on 560 CFOS AM’s Open Line radio show with Dave Carr. Bruce Power’s commitment includes masks, gloves, gowns for safety protection.
“I thank Premier Ford and our local MPPs, Bill Walker and Lisa Thompson, for their leadership. I also want to thank our public health and front-line care workers and all the people who keep Ontario moving,” said Rencheck.
“We look forward to using our logistics and supply chain to get this equipment to the front lines as soon as possible through local and provincial organizations, our counties in southwestern Ontario, and the Ministry of Health.
Premier Doug Ford expressed his gratitude to Rencheck and Bruce Power for the commitment.
“I want to thank all of Ontario’s power workers, including the 4,000 hard-working employees at Bruce Power, who are keeping the lights on for Ontario families and businesses,” said the Premier. “I also want to thank Bruce Power for doing its part to fight COVID-19 by donating 600,000 piece of PPE and producing the isotopes needed to sterilize medical equipment for our front-line workers. By working together, we can beat this virus and keep all Ontarians safe and healthy.”
