Battlefords residents are showing they have heart by making and displaying hearts on windows, doors and hedges.
Gertrude Alice a resident of the Battlefords saw a posts from Provost and Lloydminster, Alta. asking for neighbours to put hearts on their windows, so Alice posted the idea on the Battlefords COVID-19 Neighbours Helping Neighbours Facebook Group.
The idea was that in the next few weeks, while we are isolating and have young children at home, it might be challenging to keep kids occupied. So she asked everyone to make a heart so they could have a neighbourhood heart hunt.
“All you have to do is put a heart or more than one heart up in your window this week. That’s it! Colour it! Paint it! Print it from the printer, whatever you want! Then we can go outside and walk and see how many hearts we can find. It is easy! No human contact. Get fresh air.”
The idea has children in mind, but everyone can try to find as many hearts possible. Also everyone is encouraged to put hearts on display. Also in the same spirit people are going with the season and putting shamrocks and as we get closer to Easter they are displaying Easter eggs. Some are turning on their Christmas lights to share joy in their neighbourhoods at night.
Battlefords are showing just how creative they are by the different hearts that come in all sizes and colours. Have a heart and display a heart or many hearts.
