I am so proud (and I brag to my mother in Scarborough regularly) that Ottawa has one of the highest percentage of vaccinated citizens in all of Canada. Hearing regular updates at the Caldwell Family Centre board meetings that Ottawa Community Housing staff were going door-to-door with Ottawa Public Health staff to vaccinate people right at their front doors made me even more proud to live in this city. My four children and I were all front-line workers throughout the pandemic, working in long-term care, schools, camps, restaurants, and grocery stores. We were as careful as we could possibly be, but counted down the days to get both of our vaccinations. I look forward to the day where we no longer have to wear masks (so hard to hear people!), but I am also happy to do my part to prevent any further waves as variants change.
Committed to Ottawa
