If you’re a frontline healthcare worker, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We recognize these are unusual times. We’re touched by learning how communities are getting together to show gratitude for your efforts. Neighbours taking to their front lawns to cheer you on, kids and their sidewalk chalk drawings, and condo dwellers taking to their balconies to belt out heartfelt ballads. It’s all good. We need more positive vibes.
There are also restaurants across the city that offer first-responders a discount throughout the year in appreciation for their work. Not only that, but there are a few who are also offering a special break for first responders and their families during COVID-19 to help keep you well fed. Here are just a few deals that have come to our attention. We’ll update as we learn more.
