Shannon Negron would like to recognize the essential work of Helaina Rigney, a personal support worker at Sunset Manor and for private care. 

"With seniors being the most vulnerable to COVID-19, she is one who offers them the most support and hope during this time," said Negron. "She gives up her time at home to be assisting and taking care of the elderly. She constantly thinks of those who need her help and will bend over backwards to make sure everyone is okay. She is a superhero without a cape!" 

CollingwoodToday would like your help in recognizing local essential workers from health care workers, physicians, cashiers and delivery drivers. If you'd like to say thanks to someone you know, please send a photo, their name, their job title, and your words of thanks to [email protected]. Please only send photos and information with permission.
