Good Sunny Morning!<\/p>\n
v\u00a0\u00a0The Primary Care Network<\/b>\u00a0has launched a campaign to\u00a0help fight social isolation<\/b>\u00a0in a simple, and yet impactful way \u2013 by saying \u201chello\u201d. \u00a0Just because we are staying 6 feet apart and wearing a mask doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t say, hello. You can follow along on Instagram adding your own greeting using the hashtag\u00a0#SayHelloBurnaby<\/b>\u00a0and following\u00a0@SayHelloBurnaby<\/b>. There is a virtual gala on January 28th<\/sup>\u00a0at 7pm to raise funds and awareness of the Say Hello Burnaby campaign.
