Wearing a face mask continues to be an important part in protecting against the spread of COVID-19, along with practicing social distancing and maintaining proper hand hygiene.
Reusable face masks are a sustainable way to play your part, and more brands than ever are offering their own selection of protective face masks. While there are plenty of options on the market if you’re looking to add to your collection of masks, one way to support the local economy is to purchase ones that are made right here in Canada.
From major retailers to indie brands, there’s a huge selection of practical and locally-made versions to choose from. Ahead, we’ve gathered 12 of our favourite styles, all of which are proudly made in Canada.
Reusable Lightweight Face Mask
These reusable face masks are made in the Roots leather factory located in Toronto, and come in a range of colours and patterns to choose from. They feature a wire nose bridge to tailor your fit, and are available in two sizes for extra comfort.
SHOP IT: Roots, $22
Weddingstar Washable Cloth Face Mask
These affordable face masks are a fan favourite among Yahoo! Canada readers, and as an added bonus they’re made right here in Canada. The lightweight cotton and nylon design comes in more than 30 different colours and patterns, and starts at just $13 each.

Set of 2 Masks
Montreal-based Frank and Oak’s set of two face masks that give back (all proceeds go towards the non-profit organization, Moisson Montréal) were so popular that they pretty much sold out instantly. Luckily, you can still sign up to purchase them through a waitlist and be the first to find out about the next release.
SHOP IT: Frank and Oak, $24
PPE Mask set of 2
Known for their trench dress that’s a favourite of the Duchess of Sussex, Calgary-based brand House of Nonie has branched out into protective face masks as well as royal fashion. For each mask sold, one will be donated to local organizations in need of personal protection equipment.

Toronto designer Ellie Mae’s selection of sweet Liberty of London floral printed masks have been known to sell out quickly, so you’ll want to act quickly to scoop this one up before it’s gone. If florals aren’t your thing though, you can also shop the brand’s solid or striped versions too.
