KITCHENER --
A community art project is helping people across Waterloo Region share their COVID-19 pandemic experiences in a safe and creative way.
Brenda Reid first started the From Behind the Mask initiative in October to allow residents to express themselves through quilting.
"From Behind the Mask is a quilt project that is bringing together all different stories from the public, their experiences of the pandemic," she said.
Waterloo Region residents can pick up a quilt block kit for free from various local businesses or follow instructions online. The kits use upcycled fabrics and include a back panel to put down pandemic experiences.
