14 Stylish Face Masks, All Made-In-Canada

UPDATE: If you're shopping online in Canada for a reusable face mask, make sure it's a three-layer one. The Public Health Agency of Canada now suggests that Canadians sport face masks that have two layers made of cotton or linen (or any tightly woven fabric) and a third layer made of a filter-type fabric. Double-masking, where you layer a cloth mask over a disposable one, can also help if you’re going to be indoors close to other people for an extended period of time.

We're all getting used to wearing a cloth face mask in public, at least for the foreseeable future. Many cities across Canada have now made masks mandatory in indoor public spaces, and this fall teachers and students will be expected to wear masks in the classroom. Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam officially recommended that Canadians wear non-medical masks wherever physical-distancing might be a challenge back in the spring.
 
When shopping for a non-medical face mask, the government suggests that you look for one that offers breathability, is made of two or more layers of a tightly-woven fabric, is comfortable to wear, fits securely, and will maintain its shape after washing (which you should do, often). You probably also want one that’s well-designed and stylish enough to wear every time you go outside, even if it’s just for a trip to the grocery store.
 
Here’s where to find great, resuable made-in-Canada face masks. (Note: A few of these styles, like those from Horses Atelier, which sold out in 30 minutes, are currently out of stock, but they should become available again soon).
