Former Belleville resident Chris Coates is helping out his hometown from Hong Kong.
The secondary school principal at Victoria Shanghai Academy has donated protective masks for front line workers.
Coates shipped the masks across the pond to Lisa Panciuk, Mayor Mitch Panciuk’s wife, to distribute to businesses in need.
