The Government of Canada will provide approximately $6 million to improve prevention measures in 24 meat plants located in the three prairie provinces of Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.
 Funding will be used to allow increased social distancing, to purchase PPE and improve training. Operators of small plants have expressed gratitude for the support received from Agri-Food Canada with funding specifically designed to protect workers until vaccination is widely implemented.
