It’s a difficult time to be a resident in any community across Ontario. But especially here in Listowel it’s difficult to see outbreaks at facilities such as Livingstone Manor or Caressant Care.
Eastdale Elementary School is promoting the blue heart campaign in the Listowel community to show everyone’s support of front line workers fighting the battle against Covid-19.
Eastdale Elementary School Principal Ruth Lovell gives us some insight into why it’s hitting them hard there.
“We have many of our students and staff who have connection to staff at Caeressant Care and to residents. We feel helpless on the outside. We want to show our support to the residents and all the healthcare workers who are working so hard right now to help our most vulnerable community members.”
