Bola Oyewole was given the choice to terminate her volunteer work experience placement at the Regina YWCA as the reality of the COVID-19 pandemic settled in across Saskatchewan. “I realized some people might not be able to work at that time because of what is going on,” said Oyewole, 29, who only began with the organization’s support services team at the end of February. “I thought, why leave when there are people who need help?” While the YWCA’s vulnerable clients continue to rely on its staff, some of those workers have found themselves vulnerable in the face of the novel coronavirus. “As every workplace right now is probably experiencing, there are people with compromised immune systems,” said YWCA Regina executive director Alexis Losie.
