Today has been declared the National Day of Observance in Canada.
It is a day to honor the family members, friends, neighbours, and coworkers who we lost due to the pandemic, and to recognize the major impacts that COVID-19 has had on all of us.
March 11th also marks the grim, one-year anniversary of the World Health Organization declaring COVID-19 a global pandemic.
Flags will lower to half-mast all provincial buildings from sunrise to sunset today, Thursday, March 11th, to mark the National Day of Observance for COVID-19.
