Community Heroes is a CBC Ottawa series highlighting people making a difference in small or big ways in their communities during COVID-19.
Kortney Force s own world has been turned upside down this past year. Just like many others, we ve been dealing with a lot of grief and loss, said Force, who lost her job when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
After months of struggling to make ends meet, Force, who lives in Ottawa s Woodpark neighbourhood, across Woodroffe Avenue from Carlingwood Shopping Centre, came up with an idea for a special project.
