Make Some Noise for Frontline Workers

If you’ve been hearing loud and unusual noises in your neighbourhood these past few evenings, you’re not alone.

Residents across Windsor-Essex and Ontario have been opening their doors and windows at 7:30 p.m. and making all manner of noises in support of healthcare workers and other essential service providers. Some are banging pots and pans, some are singing, and all of them are sending a strong message of support to the workers on the frontlines of the battle against COVID-19.

The initiative was launched by the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario. They are urging everyone to share their support on social media using the hashtag #TogetherWeCanDoIt. Locally, use the hashtag #WEStayStrong so frontline workers in Windsor-Essex will be sure to see your posts.

“Step out onto your porch, balcony, or open a window and make some noise,” said Dr. Doris Grinspun, the RNAO’s CEO. “Take a short video of yourself banging some pots and pans, singing a song, applauding, or honking your horn, and share it on social media.”
