Calgarians step up to help other amid COVID-19 pandemic

A group of Calgarians are stepping to help others through a community Facebook group, the Calgary Herald reported.

Calgarians often speak about how the community came together following the 2013 flood, and it’s no different with the novel coronavirus pandemic.

It took just hours for an online Facebook group, called YYC COVID-19 Volunteers, to attract hundreds of Calgarians dedicated to helping community members affected by COVID-19.

Group co-founder Eric Prangnell said he was inspired by the city coming together after the flood and wanted to encourage the same response for those in need now.
