Thanksgiving marks yet another pandemic holiday, and one epidemiologist is reminding Manitobans to remain careful to avoid a spike in COVID-19 cases.
This weekend, many Manitobans are excited to see family for the first time in a while.
"Well, we're just going to family's this afternoon, but yesterday we had dinner at another family member's, and you know it's pretty peaceful, pretty quiet this year," said Jody Stanton.
Ben Henning, who is heading to his in-law’s for dinner to celebrate the holiday, said it has been a long time coming.
