A light at the end of a long dark tunnel.
That’s how many Manitobans looked at news last month that the province would soon roll out its first COVID-19 vaccines. On Dec. 16, the province opened its first vaccination site, and since then, more than 13,000 Manitobans have received their first immunization shot against the virus.
2020 was a year like no other — it featured a once-in-a-century global pandemic, a summer of racial reckoning and street protests, a U.S. presidential impeachment, dramatic political violence south of the border, and an economic crash that left many struggling to keep their heads above water.
