From the Editor
We made it.
It’s December 9, and the federal government has approved Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine after a two-month review. Canada is the third country in the world to do so, after the United Kingdom and Bahrain. Next, 249,000 doses of the two-dose vaccine will be given to long-term care home residents and staff by the end of the year, launching the country’s biggest inoculation campaign in history.
There is now light at the end of this strange, dark, twisted tunnel.
But, this is only the beginning of the end for the coronavirus pandemic. There are still many months to go before we return to any kind of “normal” life. As we wrap up the fall 2020 term and head into the holidays for some well-deserved rest, I urge all Interrobang/Gazette readers to remain vigilant for their own health and considerate of others’ as well.
As we all know, this experience has forced us to expand our awareness of our local, national and global community. We are all of us human. We are all in this together.
From the bottom of my heart, I wish you a restorative holiday season and peaceful New Year. See you in 2021.
And so it goes,
Angela McInnes
