There is a new group in Happy Valley Goose Bay called “clothmasks4labrador Sewing Group”.
This group is providing free materials to the north coast communities to make face masks.
We spoke with Elsie Russell, the Mental Health and Addictions worker at the Nain DHSD.
She says about 2 to 3 hundred face masks will be given out to the public today at the Nain Post office.
Face masks are available in adults and children sizes.
If you would like to get a free face mask, you can go down to the Nain Post office at the front counter to get your free mask.
Russell says their aim is to have every person in Nain wear a face mask and to use face masks if need be.
She also added that they are still looking for volunteers to help make the home made masks.
If you’re interested you can contact Elsie and Sandra for materials.
