In today’s special edition of Minute with the Mayor, Mayor Alty told Moose 100.1 FM’s Greg
“Tonight at 7 pm we are recommending that people either open your door, or go outside and cheer, bang on pots, or whatever comes to mind as a thank you to all the healthcare professionals and essential service workers who are keeping us safe during this time. So if you hear a bunch of racket tonight at 7 pm, that’s what it is. We definitely encourage everyone to go outside for this moment, again keeping in mind physical distancing of 6 feet from anyone not in your household”
