Organizations Providing Essential Services May Request Access to Canada’s Essential Services Contingency Reserve (ESCR)
Eligible essential service business or organizations may apply to receive personal protective equipment (PPE), non-medical masks and disinfection products to address urgent, short-term (45 days) needs.

To be eligible for the ESCR, your organization must provide essential services in one of the following areas:
- energy and utilities

- health
- food
- water
- transportation
- safety
