IRTC is making every effort to obtain the basic essential supplies from various vendors nationally.
However, at this time, supplies are limited. The supplies that were able to purchase are listed below and will be distributed to Chief and Council for further distribution to on reserve.

The kits include the following:
- Cleaning solution
- Gloves
- Masks
- Hand Sanitizer

PLEASE CONTACT YOUR MEMBER COMMUNITY’S CHIEF AND COUNCIL FOR PICK UP AND DISTRIBUTION.
