Letter: Burnaby isn't loud enough cheering our health-care workers

Editor: Over the past couple of weeks, almost all of the Lower Mainland has taken part in cheering for our health-care heroes at 7 p.m. - banging pots and pans, blowing on whistles, and bringing out their vuvuzela's from the 2010 Olympics.

Over the past couple of weeks, almost all of the Lower Mainland has taken part in cheering for our health-care heroes at 7 p.m. - banging pots and pans, blowing on whistles, and bringing out their vuvuzela's from the 2010 Olympics.

Burnaby has taken part, too, but seems to be the quietest of the bunch, and I know that we, as a city, can do much better and be much louder.

So, North Burnaby, West Burnaby, East Burnaby, South Burnaby and beyond, let's be as loud as we can be starting every night at 7 p.m. and show our health-care workers just how much we appreciate them.
