The company scoured its own supply chains and discovered they could acquire a surplus of N95 masks

Telecom giant BCE Inc. has acquired roughly 1.5 million protective face masks to donate to healthcare and other frontline public workers in their battle against COVID-19 — it is one of largest bulk donations of much-needed personal protective equipment to frontline workers by a Canadian corporation since the pandemic hit in mid-March.

Thousands of Bell employees — primarily technicians, and those working at the company’s various call centres across the country are compelled to show up to work in person, because of the nature of their jobs that cannot be done from home. For that reason, Bell has had to leverage its global logistics reach to procure gloves, coveralls and masks in bulk.

“We scooped them up first because we thought by the time we coordinated with governments and everyone got organized they would have been gone,” he said.

'We identified weeks ago that N95 masks were some of the most important protective gear. As we were scouring for them through our own supply chains we saw an ability to source more N95 masks than we needed.' Interesting. I'd like to know more about this 'own supply chain.'

As long they were not gifted to Bell by someone for using Huawei 5G network.

Bell is in deep with Huawei i.e. China so no surprise... Wondering if this why CTV News is going same way as CBC.

This is an outrage!!! Covid-19 has attacked Canada for months Ford begged for masks and tried to source them worldwide Canada gets defective masks from China Ford has companies manufacturing masks and ventilators Bell had these masks all along They waited for people to die!

ok ok

👍 Fantastic Bell !! As I've been saying and repeating: it can be done ! Bell did it, good example! , bravo !! 👏👏👏 Trudeau couldn't do it ! Fearless leader hiding can't get results. Thank-you Bell !! Corporate Citizen!! .

Bell will get a 150 million dollar tax payer rebate

Where on this CORVID-19 riddled earth did a Telecom company get ALL these masks from? Didn't the government know about this?

Where are they getting mask that were scarce before. But good news.

What was Bell doing with that many masks?
