Winnipeg’s Richardson International Airport saluted the province’s front-line healthcare workers in a unique way Wednesday afternoon.
The airport held a water cannon salute — something it said is usually reserved to recognize heroes — to thank healthcare workers for their dedication during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It’s a sign of respect, honour and gratitude,” the airport said in a tweet Wednesday afternoon.Winnipeg Airport✔@YWGairport
It’s a sign of respect, honour and gratitude. An airport tradition generally reserved for heroes.
That’s why #YWG couldn’t think of a better way to say thank you to our healthcare and frontline workers than with a water cannon salute.
Thank you.
