“Our team of 400 employees wants to recognize the health-care heroes who put their lives on the line to protect us every day,” says Daniel Morneau, general manager at the Gatineau Mills, which is located in the Ottawa-Gatineau region of Ontario and Quebec.
The delivery is part of the tissue manufacturer’s #RollingItForward campaign with Mercedes-Benz Canada. The initiative is bringing bath tissue, paper towel and facial tissue to several hospitals in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver using a fleet of more than 20 vans.
The Gatineau Mills employ more than 400 people, who have also supported their local food banks during the COVID-19 crisis by way of tissue product donation, including Bouffe Pontiac and the Banque alimentaire de la Petite-Nation.
