The experience of COVID-19 is an intensely personal one. Each of us has stories to tell of what we have experienced and observed during the pandemic. COVID-19 has changed how we work, learn, and buy our groceries. This project collects stories of Medicine Hat’s COVID-19 pandemic experience, gathering artifacts of life and preserving them for the historical record.
Your contributions will help document and make sense of what it meant to live, work and study during the outbreak. Please share your stories, thoughts, and what you have seen and heard to record how Medicine Hat residents and businesses are living through the pandemic. Help us document and preserve this historical moment!
The design of this website pays tribute to to a specific COVID-19 experience. The illustrations were inspired by sidewalk chalk drawings that popped up around the city. These colourful artworks brought up community moral; sharing positive messages and creating an activity for children at home.
