Canadians have good reason to be proud. Share in our collective success stories as we fight COVID-19 together.

Celebrate Canadian success

To help Canada fight COVID-19, the Government of Canada encouraged businesses and manufacturers to assist in meeting the need for medical supplies and equipment. More than 6,000 companies reached out to ask how they could help.

Companies retooled their facilities and increased their production capacity, collected and donated existing supplies and equipment, and combined resources to manufacture needed supplies more quickly. These are their stories.

You can still join the fight against COVID-19

The Government of Canada's top priority remains the health and safety of Canadians, and that includes front-line workers having the PPE and supplies they need. In our ongoing response to COVID-19, we are working across government, as well as in partnership with the provinces and territories and with industry, to ensure that Canadians have access to the information, resources and supplies they need to stay safe and healthy.

ISED will continue to retain all previously provided offers of assistance for future consideration as the Government of Canada's needs evolve.
