Frontline Workers Appreciation Drive By on Main Street
On Thursday, May 14 Tofield’s Main Street came alive again for a few moments around 10 a.m. as Tofield and area’s Fire Departments, Ambulance, RCMP, and Peace Officers participated in the Frontline Workers Appreciation Drive By.
This event was hosted by the Tofield and Area Health Services Foundation and the Community Attraction and Retention Committee (CARC) to show their appreciation. The Drive By went through the communities of Tofield, Ryley, Holden, and Viking.
“On behalf of the Tofield and Area Health Services Foundation I would like to thank the many people that helped put this event together,” said Foundation Chair Brenda Chehade. “It started with board member Sandy Brolly suggesting we show all the healthcare workers as well as the frontline workers some love and appreciation for all that they have done for everyone since this pandemic has started.”
The idea was also suggested to Cyndy Heslin, who is the Chair of the Community Attraction and Retention Committee as well.
“The firefighters were the ones who suggested that we include Ryley, Holden and Viking communities as well,” Chehade added. “The towns and villages were of great help with maps of each community and a suggested route so the businesses that have been open and helping everyone with needs could also be recognized.” . . . contd.
