iN VIDEO: Kamloops Pipe Band performs for health-care workers

Some Kamloops health-care workers received a pipe band tribute before starting their shift this week. 

Members of the Kamloops Pipe Band Society gathered in front of the Royal Inland Hospital to play for hospital staff, Tuesday, May 5.

This was incredible. Nothing quite like a little Amazing Grace to give you goosebumps to kick off a nightshift. Thank you a million times over. #Kamloops pic.twitter.com/bws5bWPiZF

The band performed "Amazing Grace" in honour of health-care workers and their dedicated efforts during the COVID-19 outbreak.

This isn't the first time locals have paid tribute to workers.

In April, Kamloops First Responders and construction crews put on a parade for workers, with signs, sirens and flashing lights. 

Many Canadians have shown their support and appreciation for health workers, and some still still pay tribute every night at 7 p.m. with cheering, clapping and the banging of pots and pans.
