Earlier today, along with our colleagues from @OttawaPolice & @MDTOttawaPolice, we celebrated a young boy's birthday in a special way!
Anthony, who turned 2 years old, is legally blind, only able to see some lights.
We made sure to make his birthday a little brighter...
VACCINE UPDATE:
By the end of today, the residents of the 37 high risk retirement homes will have received their 1st round of vaccine.
This is another significant milestone for our community.
Special thanks to @OttawaParamedic@OttawaHealth@OttawaHospital@QCHOttawa!
This. This right here.
The degree to which we owe thanks to these wonderful humans is beyond measure. This is cause for hope, but we're not out of the woods. We must stay vigilant to reduce the spread of COVID. #ItTakesACommunity#SteadyAsSheGoes@OttawaParamedic@OttawaHospital
Not sure who needs to hear this, but, "perfect" is cancelled until further notice.
We're all experiencing this differently. Don't compare yourself to others. Don't compare it to "how it was before".
Just do the best you can, & if that varies from one day to the next, that's ok.
Today, there was EXCITEMENT and HOPE in the air as five strike teams - coordinated by Ottawa Public Health and supported by Ottawa Paramedic Services and the nursing staff of St. Pat's - delivered the first of two Pfizer vaccine doses to 96% of our residents. 1/2
