Many thank-yous were shared with front-line hospital workers in a community a little south of London, Ontario on Wednesday.
In a video posted to Twitter, a convoy of agriculture workers in tractors and trucks can be seen passing by St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital and sharing honks and waves to support the essential workers.
“Here’s something you won’t see everywhere. Basically the entire agricultural community in Elgin County came together to say THANK YOU to our front line health workers at @stegh_cares!” posted Andrew Buttigieg.
