In our penultimate episode before the holidays we wanted this to be a good news story.
Back in January, we did an episode on Peel Region’s struggles with COVID-19. At that time Peel was an epicentre of the pandemic, struggling to get a handle on the situation.
Today, the region is the top spot in Canada for vaccination rates. A big factor in that turnaround was the mobilization of various communities to get their people vaccinated. Groups like the Canadian Muslim COVID-19 Task Force worked to turn the tide on COVID-19. We invited Urz Heer to the podcast to discuss the hard work that went into achieving this accomplishment.
