The Canadian Association of Medical Mask Manufacturers (CAMMM) is the guiding voice for Canadian medical mask manufacturers in establishing standards, communicating with legislators and regulators, and supporting new methodologies and technologies to enhance the economic health of Canada’s emerging medical mask manufacturing industry.

The Challenge for Canada

“We, like many other countries, thought we could buy our PPE from abroad, ultimately buy vaccines from abroad in a timely way. That just hasn’t been the case for either, and we’re suffering as a consequence… We need to think about all of the essential items on which we can’t rely on international markets for.”
