Manitoba Remembers – A Covid Elegy

The WSO gratefully acknowledges those whose support of this event allowed the WSO to reflect through music, stories and images the profound impacts of covid on families, businesses and ways of life across our province. It honored the contributions of all those who tirelessly served their community at the height of the pandemic.
