Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister is mourning the loss of his sister as he navigates the province through the COVID-19 pandemic. Peggy Margaret Anne Tidsbury died on Wednesday with her family by her side at the hospital in Portage la Prairie, Man. On Facebook, Pallister remembered his sister not just as family, but also as a volunteer, teacher and actress. Pallister urged Manitobans to keep their families close, while also doing everything they can to prevent the spread of COVID-19. "I think this is a hard time, but it's a time to celebrate family, and it's a time to celebrate the power that Manitobans have to make a difference."
