This means some of the things we normally recognize this time of year may have been rescheduled, cancelled or changed. But this doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t still celebrate them together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re currently practising <a href=\"https:\/\/kidshelpphone.ca\/get-info\/how-to-cope-with-social-distancing-during-covid-19\/\">physical distancing<\/a> to help slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. With this, we may not be able to physically attend Pride festivities, graduations, birthdays, powwows, holidays or anything else we usually celebrate in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s comforting to know there are still things you can do to acknowledge the meaning behind the occasions that are important to you. Here are some ways you can mark traditions and celebrate special events while physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>decorate your social media profile with a relevant design (e.g. by using a rainbow filter for Pride, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>host\/join a virtual gathering (e.g. a party, video chat, ceremony, etc.) to observe the event with others in your network\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>you could create\/share or download a digital background that makes you feel like you\u2019re at the event, like a restaurant, a school gym, the outdoors or another space<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>find a creative way to spread awareness of the event and display\/share it where others can find it (e.g. sing a song, write a poem, create art, make a sign\/poster for your window or lawn, produce a video, tell a story, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>start an online fundraiser for a person\/cause\/event\/etc. you\u2019re passionate about<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>send a virtual card, message or <a href=\"https:\/\/kidshelpphone.ca\/get-info\/letters-of-support-from-kids-like-you-during-covid-19\/\">letter of support<\/a> to let others in your network know you\u2019re thinking of them<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>set aside time to honour the event with others in your living space (e.g. by making a special meal, praying, taking a walk in nature, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>do the same things you would do if you were attending the event in person (e.g. put on your regalia and dance, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>watch a movie, listen to music, read a book, do a craft or view art\/photography that reminds you of what you\u2019re celebrating<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You can still recognize the events you care about, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. If you\u2019re looking for more ideas or support, you can always reach out to someone you trust.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The COVID-19 pandemic comes with lots of change to our daily lives.
