Every Monday night, a group of Indigenous drummers gather outside of Prince George’s University Hospital to show their support for the frontline healthcare workers and COVID-19 patients inside.
Masked and distanced, the UHNBC drum group has been meeting outside the hospital, the largest designated COVID-19 centre in Northern Health, for over a year.
“We just want to be that second wave of help behind these healthcare workers, behind the frontliners, behind everybody that is doing endless amounts of work,” Organizer Wesley Mitchell told MyPGNow.
At first, they drummed outside the hospital for 47 straight days.
