We see you!

We know that each of you are doing your part to keep our neighbourhoods’ safe. We’d like to propose a new tradition that we can each do alone (but together!!) in order to show our gratitude in the Beltline.

You are acting by staying home. You are posting to your social channels and sharing #stayhome tips with your neighbours. You are washing your hands and meeting-up with friends and family online. You are supporting our neighbourhoods’ local businesses by buying gift cards and take-out. You are taking short walks and diligently practicing physical distancing. 

Let’s get on our balconies, patios and porches and come together to say thank you! Thank you to the front-line service workers taking care of us in so, so many ways.

Join us! Every evening @ 7.00 PM from your home. Carry outside your noisemakers, practice your whistlin', and warm up your hoots and holler-ers. Let’s make sure Beltline hospital staff, emergency service workers, grocery store employees, pharmacists, take-out and restaurant staff (and so many more!) know we stand along side them to keep our city safe and healthy. 

A huge kudos to Sam Hester for the incredible poster below. 

HEAR you ALL tonight, the day after that, and the one after that! We'll be on our balconies, porches and patios every single night.
