In what feels like a defining 2020 moment, face mask vending machines are popping up in places all over Toronto. 

For a few dollars, you can now pick up a mask in many subway stations, malls, airports, and sidewalks around the GTA. The idea is that you'll never need to stress about forgetting your PPE ever again.

The vending machines have been spotted at places like Eglinton Station, Yorkdale Mall, and Toronto Pearson Airport.

In Pearson, PPE vending machines have been made available for the public, pre-security, in line with the fact they are mandatory on flights. 

In fact, with face masks now being compulsory in indoor public places, this new initiative will stop you from being barred if you forget your mask. Just as long as there's a vending machine nearby.
