As part of the Province of Alberta’s efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19, Albertan’s can now access 20 million free, non-medical face masks for free at A&W, McDonalds and Tim Hortons drive-thrus.
Each person that passes through a drive-thru can pick receive up to four non-medical masks. The masks are free for anyone and no purchase is necessary.
Albertan’s are encouraged to pick up masks for family members and friends. Masks are being distributed via the honour system and Albertan’s are asked to respect the limit of one package per person.
In a statement, the Minister of Health, Tyler Shandro said, this program is the only of it’s kind in the country.
