The upcoming July 1 is not only Canada Day, but a landmark day with all pandemic restrictions lifted. It is time to celebrate and everyone should open some bubbles to congratulate ourselves for having lived through Covid for well over a year. It is time to celebrate ourselves, friends and relatives for persistence and perseverance through this difficult period in our lives. Although we believe we must still be vigilant, we can for once indulge and celebrate this momentous day.
