Episode 42: Spanish Influenza In Canada Part 3: 1920

This is the third and final episode of our Spanish Influenza in Canada mini series, with a focus on the year 1920. The Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918 and 1919 stretched into 1920, just as the COVID-19 Pandemic has stretched from 2020 and 21 into 2022.  Approximately 50,000 people in Canada died from Spanish Influenza and Pneumonia caused by the flu, and between 20 and 100 million worldwide.

Today, there is no one alive to remember them. 

So if I can read some of their names out loud, and share some of the stories printed in newspapers at the time, then maybe somewhere in the universe, their lights will shine again, if only for a moment.
