As part of their ongoing commitment to support people impacted by wildfires across Canada, the Canadian Red Cross is distributing N95 respirator masks, free of charge, to communities exposed to wildfire smoke. This support is offered on behalf of the Government of Canada.
As The City of Pembroke plays an essential role in supporting and providing resources to the community, we are taking part in this program.
Under the City’s Emergency Preparedness Program, we are distributing N95 respirator masks, free of charge, to the community.
Masks are available to the public at City Hall, the Parks and Recreation Department located at the PMC, the Pembroke Public Library, and the Pembroke Fire Department.
For more information on air quality and tips to keep you and your family safe, please visit Emergency Preparedness – Renfrew County and District Health Unit.
