Dozens of Nakusp residents watched a Yellowhead Road and Bridge (YRB) tribute along the streets of Nakusp on April 15, organized to help show community support for essential workers during the COVID-19 crisis.
Truckers, RCMP and even a snowplow honked their horns at 7 p.m. as they drove down 8th Avenue towards Arrow Lakes Hospital as part of the tribute.
