Montreal teen starts PPE business to help others

But one Montreal student went a bit further and created her own business — one that aims in part, to help sick children.It’s a personal protective equipment pop-up shop located on the Mile-End’s Parc Avenue, one that the Miss Edgar’s & Miss Cramp’s School student started from scratch.Vassalos says she was looking for a meaningful summer job that could also help people during the pandemic.

For weeks, she says she researched local suppliers that were approved by Canada’s health agency, Health Canada and then negotiated the best possible prices. The shop sells hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, face shields and goggles, U.V. light wands, gloves and face masks, among other items.She was able to set up the business with a loan from her dad that she vowed to pay back, and by getting her stock on consignment.
