“The Samuel De Champlain Bridge has become a symbol of hope across Greater Montreal in the face of COVID-19,” Catherine McKenna, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, said. “I am pleased that the bridge will continue to display its rainbow lights every Sunday evening in July to honour our front-line workers and remember those we have lost. The lights are also a reminder to all of us to follow the guidance of our public health officials. Continue to take care of yourselves, your loved ones and your community.”

The Samuel De #ChamplainBridge will continue to display its rainbow lights each Sunday in July, from 9:30-10:30 pm EDT, to show that #WeWillGetThroughThis. https://t.co/LCNkA6nCoQ #cavabienaller🌈#StrongerTogether #SamuelDeChamplainBridge pic.twitter.com/UmZV9779yT
