Seniors in long-term care facilities have been separated from their loved ones during the pandemic.
As a way to reach to celebrate Canada’s seniors – especially those in long-term care homes where they have been hit particularly hard, Eastlink has partnered with Canadian musicians for a special musical production called Heartstrings.
“It has been hard to be separated from friends and family during this unusual time and for our seniors, we know it has been particularly difficult,” said Eastlink CEO Deborah Shaffner.
“We wanted to do something that might offer some comfort and support and hope this gift of music featuring personal performances from talented musicians will lighten the spirit and brighten the day.”
Watch: Heartstrings premieres June 14:
Premiering Sunday, June 14 on Eastlink Community TV Channels 10 and 610 at 7 p.m. local time, Heartstrings features musical contributions from P.E.I.’s Tim Chaisson, as well as Classified, Reeny Smith, David Myles, the Nova Scotia Mass Choir and many others, along with messages of thanks, encouragement and appreciation from other special guests.
