Free Spirit Sports has donated 100 face shields to the Queen Victoria Hospital.

The business, which has operated in Revelstoke over 27 years, ordered the shields through Paul Micheletti, who was inspired by Bauer’s faceshields.

Liz Rorstad, co-owner of Free Spirit Sports in Revelstoke, said they decided to order the shields because it was important to show support for frontline workers.

“It’s a way to show our appreciation,” she said.

While the store’s premises is closed, Free Spirit Sports is still open via social media and the phone. Costumers can even FaceTime the store for a virtual shopping tour.
