Everyday tasks like grocery shopping were suddenly fraught with challenges. Travellers scrambled to get home before the borders closed, and were then ordered to self-quarantine. Hospitals and health-care facilities prepared for a potential influx of critically ill patients. Through it all, Nova Scotians reacted with kindness and empathy, and came to recognize their everyday heroes--from grocery clerks to delivery drivers to the doctors and nurses on the front lines. But tales of some who flouted the rules arose. During a daily media briefing, Premier Stephen McNeil made the spirit of the order perfectly clear: \"Stay the blazes home.\" \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough dozens of powerful stories that illuminate the generosity and ingenuity of Nova Scotians, \u003ci\u003eStay the Blazes Home\u003c\/i\u003e captures the many ways Nova Scotians adapted to and embraced life during the COVID-19 pandemic. Featuring photographs by author and award-winning photographer Len Wagg, in addition to submitted images from all over the province, \u003ci\u003eStay the Blazes Home\u003c\/i\u003e serves as a record of the resilience and the spirit of Nova Scotians in a time of crisis.
