Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Like 25 healthcare organizations coming together to encourage the people of Saskatchewan, especially young people, to hang in there and keep following the guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19 — several months into the pandemic, and just before Christmas. Then, over a year into the pandemic, encouraging everyone to get vaccinated. My friends at MGM Communications were kind enough to ask me to write this campaign and come up with a suitable URL: www.WeAreSickOfThisToo.ca.

There’s nothing funny about a pandemic, but I hope acknowledging the crappiness of it all, and that we’re all in this crappiness together, helps a little.  Angie
