In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Canadians, along with the rest of the world, have been forced to make serious changes to our day-to-day routines. As the country continues to enforce new rules and regulations in an effort to combat this virus, a larger number of people now find themselves self-isolating. This is a very difficult time for us all, but it is a necessary precaution.
To pass the time, numerous local and world-famous musicians and celebrities have begun posting concerts on various social media platforms using the hashtag #TogetherAtHome. Below are just a few of the many to be found. Be sure to check back, as many artists continue to post!
