Telus selling critter masks to support Covid-19 relief efforts


VANCOUVER — Fans of the loveable critters that appear in Telus ads may be interested to know reusable cloth masks featuring the animals are now available online and in stores, with proceeds going to the Telus Friendly Future Foundation to support public healthcare efforts and Covid-19 relief efforts across the country.

While quantities last, the Telus-branded masks will be available in packs of three for $45, in both youth and adult sizes and in an assortment of patterns. The dual-layered masks are made out of 100% recycled polyester on the outside and 100% organic cotton on the inside, adhering to the guidelines set by the Telus Medical Advisory Council.

“As our team continues to do all that we can to answer to the many challenges associated with the pandemic, wearing a mask outside the home is a kind and thoughtful act of selflessness that will allow us to help keep our friends, loved ones and neighbours safe,” said Darren Entwistle, president and CEO of Telus, in the news release. “Importantly, with proceeds of these limited time masks being donated to the Telus Friendly Future Foundation, we can continue to provide much-needed support for our healthcare workers and vital Covid-19 community response efforts across Canada, while doing our part to safeguard our communities.”

Since the beginning of March, Telus has dedicated $150 million to support Canadians through the Covid-19 crisis. To learn more about the Telus Friendly Future Foundation and how to donate, please visit friendlyfuture.com.
