Edgewood donates anti-fatigue mats to front line workers

Edgewood Group of Richmond Hill, ON, a custom matting company, recognizes the Canadian first responders on the front lines who are working diligently to keep us all safe. But the physical demand of said standing for long durations does not come without consequence.

The company decided to allocate anti-fatigue mats to its new hygiene product distribution buying organization Balpex for member companies to donate to those on the front lines. Balpex members responded and there are now over 400 mats sent across the country to help those standing for countless hours on end and serving our most in need citizens.

“We are deeply moved by the kindness that the Edgewood Group is providing to these First Responders and entrusting our Balpex Members to be the ones to provide this generous donation.
