The City of Granby is following suit with the red cloth initiative launched on social networks in France, as part of the COVID-19 pandemic. She encourages single people who need help to hang a red cloth on the window to signal it to their neighbors.

Cultural and Community Life (VCC) in Granby promotes the idea on its Facebook page.

“In these times of isolation at home, people can find themselves alone and with few means to communicate their needs for help, whether for missing medicines or a lack of food. If you find yourself in this situation, we invite you to hang a red cloth on your window, on your door or on your balcony, in order to indicate to your neighbors that you need help. You can hang a towel, a scarf, a sweater or a tie for example ”, argues VCC.
