Diabetes Canada announced on March 23 that they would no longer be accepting donations at their collection bins nationwide due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now they are calling on local politicians to help out after they’ve continued to see high volumes of drop-offs.
In an open letter they requested local politicians to make their constituents aware of the service disruption and if necessary fine those who leave items behind during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The diabetes donation bins annually generate $5 million for diabetes research and treatment.
