Distribute N95 respirator masks in your community

As part of our ongoing commitment to support people who are facing the impacts of the 2024 wildfire season across Canada, the Canadian Red Cross is distributing N95 respirator masks, free of charge, to organizations located in communities where exposure to wildfire smoke may impact air quality. This support is offered on behalf of the Government of Canada.  

As an organization that plays an essential role in serving your community, we invite you to be part of this program. To distribute N95 respirator masks, free of charge, within your community, please submit your order form to request N95 respirator masks by visiting redcross.ca/maskdistribution. 

For additional information, visit N95 Respirator Masks - Canadian Red Cross, where you can access and download the following materials, in both English and French:  

• For your awareness, technical specification sheets for the N95 respirator masks that are available through this program.  
• Tipsheets by the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Canadian Red Cross with health and safety guidance on using respirator masks during wildfire smoke events.

Please note:  

• This program will operate on a first-come, first-served basis from July until the end of September 2024.  

• There is no cost associated with receiving the shipment of these masks from the Canadian Red Cross.  

• Fit testing will not be available from the Canadian Red Cross. Masks will be distributed as is. For guidance, refer to N95 Respirator Masks - Canadian Red Cross.   

• Orders will be processed in bulk by cases. The minimum order quantity is one (1) case, which includes between 440 and 500 masks depending on the type of masks requested by organizations. Organizations who wish to place larger orders (for example, a pallet or more), should indicate this in the order form. A member of our team will contact organizations to arrange a shipment that is suitable to their community’s needs.  

We encourage you to share this information with other organizations who may be interested in this program.
