A digital memorial for Saskatchewan residents lost to COVID-19
Since March 2020, there have been over 1800 deaths caused by COVID-19 in Saskatchewan. As the scale of the pandemic increased, people across Saskatchewan became disconnected from the stories of those who died. Individual tragedies were converted into statistics, tables, and graphs.
This digital memorial is an effort to remember the individuals taken too soon by COVID-19. The profiles found below were gathered from publicly available information, most often obituaries, where the cause of death was linked to COVID-19. For each person, we have included a brief highlight about their life drawn from obituaries and memorials written by family and friends.
This memorial is part of the Remember Rebuild Saskatchewan project, funded by SSHRC and CIHR.
