Robert Critchley, a former Estevan resident, wanted to do something special for healthcare workers during COVID-19. Stuck at home due to the restrictions, Critchley decided to get his band from the '70s back together over Zoom, and re-record a song he wrote after recovering from a surgery in Toronto General Hospital. Critchley said the song, "Dear Ms. Percy," was written to acknowledge both the great treatment he received as well as his own mother who was a nurse. Today, he says it's taken on even more meaning as a tribute to the great work being done by those in the healthcare profession around the world.
