In March 2020, Medium Rare Chef Apparel shifted its production to make reusable face masks to help slow the spread of COVID-19. In doing so, we supported frontline heroes through our donation program and helped keep Canadian workers employed. As businesses and services reopen and we return to our new normal, we want you to know Medium Rare has you covered – from aprons to face masks. Our face masks are made right here in Calgary, Alberta. Let’s support our local businesses and local charities while we help keep each other – and our employees and customers – safe.
If you’ve worn our aprons, you know Medium Rare never skimps on quality or style. Our face masks offer the same promise – they’re washable, durable, breathable and will make you look and feel like you’re ready to take on the challenge.
Using an approved design by Sault Area Hospital (SAH) officials in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, our face masks feature a pocket where a filter can be placed for added protection, as well as a soft wire to help form the mask to your face. Instructions and filter template are included with each face mask shipment. These masks are not a substitute for the N95, surgical or procedural mask.
