Looks like Disney Shops are making/selling them now too. https://www.shopdisney.com/face-masks/

Thank you for the recommended websites for Canadian made masks - so important now to shop Canadian! I've placed an order to Jerico as I love the bamboo cloth feeling. I have a cotton mask with elastics made for me, but its not very comfortable, so hoping the bamboo with fit better for me. Thanks!I am not the poster you were asking, but I just ordered some masks yesterday from a Canadian clothing company. The company is called Jerico, they are located in Toronto and their products are made in Canada, including the masks. I have purchased bamboo/cotton scarves and tshirts from them previously, so was excited when they announced through their email list and FB page that they now had masks available.
Their main website: https://jerico.ca/
The masks product page: https://jerico.ca/productdetail.aspx?c=1&s=0&pid=458
I ordered some of their masks yesterday [as well as some more scarves] so haven't received them yet to be able to comment on them specifically. But based on my previous experience with the company I am *expecting* a quality product.
Also, Canadian travel clothing icon Tilley Endurables is now selling non-medical face masks: https://www.tilley.com/ca_en/tilley-face-masks-non-medical.html and face shields: https://www.tilley.com/ca_en/catalogsearch/result/?q=ths+tcs
I purchased some of the Tilley ones when they first came out, so we've already received them. Comfortable, though not as good a fit as I would like, but that is my face dimensions - they fit better on my sister. One nice feature is adjustable elastic ear loops.
This will be one of the challenges of buying cloth face masks vs making your own -- fit. Some will fit well and hopefully your first purchase is that ! But others may not be an ideal fit.
Finally, I bought some from the US, again from a company I have done business with before for their other clothing. However, it is taking **forever** to make it through the postal system. Personally, I would recommend a Canadian supplier if possible, although even those are having delivery issues regardless of carrier - just not as long a delivery time.
We are making some of our own, too, I just haven't gotten round to making as many as I would like so we are also trying some of the commercially available ones. We plan to have several each so we don't have to wash them each day.

Six Flags just put out their plans for reopening and masks are going to be required. I don't see how Disney won't make them mandatory.Masks. Ugh! I really do not like wearing one but as they are becoming a necessary evil to get into many places, I am trying my best to get some. I ordered some dispensable ones through Walmart.ca, but a month later, they have not arrived, and parcel tracking is not helping at all. Also ordered a thermometer, and likewise for that.
I could get on board with the Disney ones, but ShopDisney gives me that PFO message the minute I select Canada, for anything I try to order. I really hate sewing, but can as a last resort, but there is no elastic to be had around here, not even hair elastics as all have been snapped (no pun intended!) up by others with the same intention. I tried a version with ties and it was firmly vetoed by family members.
Really, really hoping that masks will not be required in WDW as they would certainly derail the enjoyment of strolling with a Mickey Ice cream bar, not to mention the general warmth and discomfort. That will discourage me from returning as soon as possible. I can cope with a mask with 20-30 minutes in Costco.

Regarding getting hair elastics, my local grocery store had some. I included them on my regular order and they were there. Maybe people aren't thinking about hair stuff in the grocery store?
Why, when I try to check out, do they convert to USD?For those of you who are still looking for a place to buy masks that are made IN CANADA and ship quickly (someone mentioned ordering on Sat and receiving them by Thursday), I stumbled across this website today! They're in Etobicoke ON - technically part of Toronto (and side note, my birthplace ) and they're selling packs of 5 masks for ~~$30 tax & shipping included - apparently it shows up as USD when looking at the Paypal option at first but it really is CDN funds. They're all black, have a nose wire and elastic straps.
***NO I'm not connected to this in any way, just thought I'd pass this along

Digging further into their website i found this neat option! Might come in handy for anyone who needs a special touch to advertising

That's an excellent question! And rather annoying let me see if i can track down a response!!Why, when I try to check out, do they convert to USD?
Ok i just tried to do a dummy order and I found if I ignore the Paypal option and just jump down to filling out name, shipping info and then clicking on "continue to shipping" at the bottom of the page, and then "continue to payment" at the bottom of that page it then allows me to enter a credit card number and it stays in CDN funds.Try that and see if it works for you!!!Why, when I try to check out, do they convert to USD?
I decided to use the paypal option, since they are essentially a popup and I didn't want my card out there with them. Maybe a mistake, though, since no chargeback option for that.Ok i just tried to do a dummy order and I found if I ignore the Paypal option and just jump down to filling out name, shipping info and then clicking on "continue to shipping" at the bottom of the page, and then "continue to payment" at the bottom of that page it then allows me to enter a credit card number and it stays in CDN funds.Try that and see if it works for you!!!
*ETA, the only payment option that seems to switch to USD funds is Paypal, all the others remain in CDN - GooglePay, shopPay and directly entering a credit card (Visa, Mastercard AND AMEX)
So I was at Shoppers to get a prescription yesterday and I put on my cloth mask and in I went . I needed my reading glasses to see my phone which I was using to pay and for my optimum card so I put them on outside before I put on the mask. All good right ? Wrong . By the time it was time to pay my glasses were so fogged up from the mask I couldn’t see . And I didn’t want to touch my face so I had to open my purse and lean forward until they fell off into my purse... while standing at the cash.. with people waiting. Then I had to bumble along squinting and not really able to see what I was doing with my phone to pay and use my cards. I looked like a lunatic.
This will take some getting used to.
Since you bought both types of masks, were you able to put a "filter" in either kind?
Thank you so much for posting the links.
