Hudson’s Bay has offered free space to governments and health authorities to host vaccination clinics in our retail stores across Canada,” a company representative explained in a statement.

“It’s imperative that we all work together and we want to do our part to support the critical vaccination effort in our communities,” she added.

Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Health responded to the offer, describing it as “truly inspiring to have such support during this unprecedented time.” However, they noted that enough venues had already been secured to provide vaccinations.
