Kirkland Lake Gold has graciously donated $10,000 worth of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) packages to small non-franchise businesses within our community. The PPE contained in these packages include a box of masks, two bottles of sanitizer, and one large container of sanitizing wipes.

“Kirkland Lake Gold is committed to providing a safe working environment,” stated Tony Makuch, President and CEO of Kirkland Lake Gold. “Covid-19 has reminded us that health and safety reach beyond the worksite and into the communities where our employees and their families live and interact with others. We are pleased to work with the Town of Cochrane to help create a safe environment for all community members and ensure everyone can work and go home safe and healthy.”

The Town of Cochrane is grateful for this donation from Kirkland Lake Gold.

“We are proud of the PPE contribution that will help to ensure that our businesses are protected while they do their job and support our community during this time,” noted Kaitlyn Monsma, Economic Development Officer for the Town in a press release.

For a business to be eligible to receive a box, the business must be local to the Town of Cochrane, and the business must not be operating under a franchise. The PPE boxes will be distributed through the Town of Cochrane Economic Development Department.

If you own or operate a small business in need of PPE, please email Kaitlyn.monsma@cochraneontario.com to obtain information on how to receive a box, as limited quantities are available.
