Physical Description: 1 photograph (tiff) : col. ; 72 dpi.

Scope and Content: Photograph of Burnaby General Hospital with RCMP cars, RCMP officers and healthcare workers out in front. Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley, Vancouver Canucks' mascot "Fin", Richard Liu and another man are dressed in Vancouver Canucks hockey jerseys and are standing near the front of the hospital holding hockey sticks. They are giving a stick tap salute in appreciation to the healthcare workers.

History: Photograph was taken by Richard Liu on May 12, 2020 around 7:00pm. Richard helped organize a 'stick-tap' to salute front line health care workers at the Burnaby Hospital. The Vancouer Canuck's mascot "Fin", Mayor of Burnaby Mike Hurley, MLA Anne Kang and MLA Katrina Chen, MP Peter Juilan, the RCMP Chief, the Fire Chief and Transit Police Chief were in attendance. These 'salutes' to health care workers were common in April and May during the earliest and most uncertain months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many local neighbourhoods across Burnaby, the Lower Mainland and the Province began regularly gathering at 7:00pm to bang pots and pans, honk horns, and generally celebrate and acknowledge the work of health care professionals. The presence of "Fin" was added because the Vancouver Canuck and NHL were not playing, so Fin was available to make the rounds. His visits were often surprises. Fin played the Canucks goal horn through the Fin Mobile roof speakers, with green and blue flashing lights. Fin visited six hospitals, as well as Canuck Place Children’s Hospice.
