A Clarington RV centre is offering up 70 of its vehicles to Oshawa and Ajax-Pickering hospitals to help frontline workers amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“We must help our heroes that are on the frontline,” said Bob Verwey, president of OWASCO Inc.
Verwey says the company wanted to help health-care staff in any way they could as staff work around the clock to treat COVID-19 patients.

Each doctor or nurse would have their own RV, where they would be able to cook, shower and rest in between shifts.
The act of kindness comes despite the company laying off nearly 200 of its employees amid the pandemic. It has since asked volunteers to help service the vehicles that will go towards frontline workers.
