With Easter weekend upon us, people are preparing to experience the first holiday weekend since the novel coronavirus was declared a global pandemic.

That’s what got the wheels turning in Eric Yeung’s mind, and put a fundraising initiative in motion that will see dozens of Calgary families in need, enjoy a special Easter dinner.
