Prince George Strong shirts latest show of appreciation for front line workers

PRINCE GEORGE — A new show of support for those helping out through the COVID-19 pandemic. Prince George Strong shirts with the hashtag #WeCanBeatThis.

“I have been to a lot of these facilities and I thought it would be really cool to go in and see a whole floor wearing these,” said Peter Schlitt, Owner of Up the Creek. “That was sort of the idea that we thought would be really interesting.”

A handful of organizations like the local RCMP, those in the healthcare sector, and Carrier Sekani Family Services receiving these tokens as a sign of solidarity. Standing together, but not too close, as communities continue to work together in a time of need.

“I think this has really shown us how community really looks, how family really looks; that we are all together and that we’re trying to really understand that there is a physical distance but we still need to be socially together,” explained Mary Teegee, Executive Director of CSFS.
