SAUGEEN FIRST NATION — Former Saugeen councillor Steven Vanloffeld wants to support Indigenous communities and businesses during the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic by offering office supplies at cost to staff who are working at home.
“If they need supplies, we will supply them with supplies at cost, so there is no profit involved,” says Vanloffeld, founder and co-owner of eSupply Canada Ltd. “What we get, those workers at home will get.”
Vanloffeld and co-owner Glenn Wheeler launched eSupply Canada Ltd. in February to provide Indigenous communities with a more community-oriented option for office, janitorial and industrial supplies.
“Our generation has never before experienced what our communities, the nation and the globe is experiencing, and we must all do our part to ensure the continued health, safety and well-being of one another, especially our Elders and the most vulnerable,” says Wheeler, a Mi’kmaq citizen from Qualipu First Nation in Newfoundland and Labrador.
