Lowe’s Canada offers air conditioners for homeless Torontonians

BOUCHERVILLE, Que. — Lowe’s Canada is donating 300 portable air conditioners to the City of Toronto, in support of the city’s efforts to encourage greater social distancing among homeless residents. In order to reduce crowding in high-demand shelters, the city is offering their clients vacant public housing units. With summer settling in, these air conditioners will help provide these residents with a more comfortable living environment as they go through self-isolation. “Supporting our neighbours and communities has always been part of Lowe’s Canada’s DNA,” President Tony Hurst said in a release. “This is why, when the City of Toronto contacted us with this request, we immediately accepted.”
