Windsor’s Iraqi-Canadian community is helping out local residents deal with the COVID-19 pandemic with a gift of masks.

On Tuesday, the Windsor-based Iraqi Canadian Group Organization began distributing more than 1,000 masks made by its members for the public.

According to the organization, each mask was constructed with newly purchased quality fabric by ICGO volunteers.

The giveaway began at noon in front of the ICGO office (397 Wyandotte St. West), with a maximum of five masks per household.

ICGO founder and president Khassan Saka said the effort is in response to the “lack of supply” and “exuberant costs” of masks, which he believes can minimize the spread of COVID-19.
