The bells of Canmore, Alberta at 7 pm
Apr 19, 2020, 11:58 AM
Canmore, Canada lockdown sound recorded by Greg Wooley.
"Canmore is a mountain town, usually filled with tourists - particularly on weekends. Since the pandemic was declared, nearly all tourist services have ended.
"Grocery stores and pharmacies are open, and some restaurants offer take out or delivery service, but that's about it. There has been extremely good local compliance to self-isolation, and when people do go out for a walk they are keeping their distance. We are encouraged by the number of communities world-wide where these protocols are followed.
"At 7 pm each evening, people are encouraged to make joyful noise to thank the frontline workers who are still providing essential services, and the downtown Churches are ringing their bells! Ralph Connor Memorial United Church and St. Michael's Anglican Church both date from the early 1890s, and are among the 4 oldest buildings downtown."
