It’s been COLD lately, but that doesn’t mean you need to run and hide. I love to get outside in the winter, probably a bit more than the average person, but there are some people who really put me to shame. I love to see these people getting after it, even in the iciest conditions. Here are a few captures of some folks who don’t let a little cool air and snow slow them down.

Infectious disease specialist, Dr. Sumon Chakrabarti stops for a quick portrait between seeing COVID positive patients at Trillium Health Partners. Dr. Chakrabarti and fellow infectious disease specialists have been key players in not only keeping us safe but also keeping us informed throughout this pandemic. Over the past year he’s been volunteering his time to provide daily interviews to media.
While on the unit we also shot some b-roll for virtual discussion with a group of front-line doctors from across Canada that aired on Global News. You can watch the discussion HERE.
On January 7 Peel Paramedics came to Trillium Health Partners to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. They also were trained on how to administer the vaccine. Now Peel Paramedics have joined forces in administering the vaccine to long-term care workers, front line staff and other priority groups. I had the opportunity to tag along and photograph some of the process. Here are a few of my favourite stills from the day.
