Bits and Pieces program

Premier Jason Kenney also announced the Bits and Pieces program calling on Albertan companies to contribute in whatever way they can to help with the pandemic.

Some examples he gave were to offer passenger and commercial vehicles, hotel rooms amd mobile trailers, hospital gowns, face masks, ventilators and other personal protective equipment. He also highlights Alberta distilleries pivoting their brewery operations and making sanitizer.

He says over the past week, more than 1,100 offers of support have come in from private and non-profit organizations.

The program is named after a Second World War program with the same name. The program coordinated innovative production and procurement efforts from across the country to support the war effort.
