The chief concern is the health and safety of all residents and staff across the Town of Oakville.

"I sincerely appreciate Grasshopper Energy's generous donation of needed personal protective equipment for our local hospital," states Oakville MPP Stephen Crawford. "The Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital has been engaging in tough work, sacrificing every day to help our community stay strong and healthy, which we deeply thank them for."
