[Advisors] covid-19 and rural internet access

[Monique Chartrand]

Happy to read you and know you're healthy. 

I don't think we've ever worked so hard since we've been teleworking, it's crazy. 

We've managed to pass our basic training offer for low-income people and seniors, both online and by telephone coaching. 

And not to get bored, we're demonstrating the strength of Fab Labs as a distributed neighbourhood manufacturing facility that meets the needs of communities. 

We have developed a reusable (unique) protective visor for healthcare workers and are working with a consortium to evaluate the recycling possibilities of plastics, some of which are medically approved. 

We document everything on this page to share how we do it worldwide : https://www.communautique.quebec/visiere-de-protection-echofab/

We have a contract with a designated hospital for 30,000 visors in 30 days (by comparison Bombardier will produce 50,000 units). We're learning a lot about the plastics industry and manufacturing processes. The food industry is the key.

Stay tuned! Et Joyeuses Pâques !

Monique
