全國護士周
今天是全國護士周的開始，我們在此感謝他們對我們社區和健康的貢獻。
儘管社區和生活有恢復常態的跡象，但我必須同時提醒大家抗疫尚未結束。在這全國護士周里要繼續注重安全和健康、留在家中，限制非必要的出門和保持社交距離是對護士致敬的最好方法。
在這段時間里，我們的護士和前線工人仍然需要PPE和消毒劑。在有可能的情況下，我鼓勵各位繼續慷慨捐助。有關醫院需要物資和捐款的詳情請瀏覽：https://www.shn.ca/news/helpourheroes/

National Nurses’ Week
Today marks the beginning of National Nurses’ Week. It is a time for us to appreciate the work that they do in keeping us healthy and well cared-for.
Although there are signs of normal life returning to the City of Toronto, I want to remind everyone that the battle against COVID-19 is not over. The best way we can honour our nurses this week is to stay safe and healthy. Stay home, limit any excursions to essential needs only and practice physical distancing.
Our nurses and frontline workers are still in need of PPE and sanitizers during this time, and I am still encouraging everyone to make donations whenever possible. Please take a look at https://www.shn.ca/news/helpourheroes/ for a list of items needed in our hospitals and consider making a donation to help our frontline workers in the fight against COVID-19.
City of Toronto
·The City announced the launch of ShopHERE, a new initiative to help Toronto’s independent businesses and artists set-up their online stores with the help of volunteer web developers, business students and corporate partners.

The ShopHERE program is open to any business or artist that meets the eligibility requirements.
·The City of Toronto has made an investment of $2M to the Toronto Rent Bank to support approximately 800 additional low-income households to remain housed. Program changes have also been implemented to be more responsive to the needs of low-income households during the COVID-19 pandemic.
