Another summer in quarantine? Or a busting out, finally post-vaccination, after over a year of pandemic blues?
For these Burnaby teens looking forward to summer, the future is uncertain but looking better.
Kyle White, a high school student from Burnaby, British Columbia, feels confident that restrictions will be lifted by the summer. He hopes the majority of people will be vaccinated by July, that way he can enjoy his summer to the fullest.
“I’m a natural athlete,” White plans on staying active throughout the summer by playing basketball, soccer and going to the gym. “As more people get vaccinated, restrictions will start to loosen, and I really hope the gym, parks and fields will become more accessible,” he said.
“As long as we follow health guidelines and obey the rules, I truly believe summer 2021 will be one of a kind. However, we need to prioritize safety ahead of everything to protect our grandparents.”
Although he seems confident that restrictions will be lifted, he made it very clear that his family’s health comes first.
White had one concluding message directed to those who refuse to comply with Covid-19 regulations, “This is the final stretch, let’s continue to be responsible and get back our summer, because I’m done waiting”
