If you missed out on getting free KN95 masks from liquor stores and casinos, you could try asking your local MLA for a box.

Manitoba’s Minister of Central Services, Reg Helwer took to Twitter last week to announce a new partnership with Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries, saying KN95 masks would start to be handed out before Christmas.

But there would be a delay until after Christmas for the masks to reach venders in Steinbach and area for distribution to people in the Southeast.

Helwer said more distribution methods would be announced.
