Bruce Power will be providing 600,000 pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) to support Ontario’s fight against COVID-19. Bruce Power will provide masks, gloves, and gowns.

“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 Mike Rencheck, President and CEO, Bruce Power. “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.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford expressed his gratitude to Rencheck and Bruce Power for “providing power to millions of people in Ontario”.

“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 Ford. “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.”

“Ontario is fortunate to have world-class electricity generators who are not only keeping the lights on, but are going above and beyond to support our province during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Greg Rickford, the Minister of Energy, Northern Development and Mines, and Minister of Indigenous Affairs. “Thank you to Bruce Power for this generous donation to Ontario’s front-line health care workers. This is the Ontario Spirit at its very core.”
