COVID-19 is leading to anticipated challenges in the supply of protective equipment for health care workers. Those on the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic need this equipment to protect themselves and provide safe, quality care. Without it, they’re at higher risk of exposure to and transmission of the virus.
The Brenda Strafford Foundation is closely monitoring our inventory of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). We are actively working with our suppliers to ensure we can continue to access the critical equipment and supplies we need, when we need them, to ensure our people are protected.
In order to do everything we can to prepare for COVID-19, and continue to effectively prevent the occurrence or spread of COVID-19 within our Manors, we’re asking individuals and organizations to donate any spare personal protective equipment or supplies.

If you would like to schedule a time to drop off critical supplies, please email Catherine.Laing@theBSF.ca.
While we are currently focused on enhanced health and safety measures, we continue to be guided by our core value ‘People First.’ People are always at the centre of everything we do!
