Residents in East Vancouver clap and make noise from their balconies on Mar. 31, 2020. Every night at 7 p.m., residents erupt in cheers and applause to salute the city's health care and essential service workers. The displays of appreciation take place at a time when some health care workers are switching shifts, and are meant as a thank-you for those on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
