The streets of Wortley Village in London, Ont., are filled with cheer for a few minutes every evening as residents thank local front-line and healthcare workers amid the COVID-19 pandemic. “We cheer for two to five minutes every night at 7:30 p.m.,” said Jolene Barr. “It’s short and sweet, but impactful.” Barr is one of the organizers of Wortley Village’s nightly cheer.
She told Mike Stubbs on London Live Thursday families like to dress up for the occasion. One family wears dinosaur costumes, and Barr’s family wears unicorn costumes.
Wortley Village’s nightly cheer is part of the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario’s #TogetherWeCanDoIt campaign, which launched on March 19.
