When the pandemic began, CBC Toronto started a series called Front-line Heroes. It featured some of the brave people fighting COVID-19 head-on, from hospital cleaning staff to convenience stores owners to family physicians. Now almost a year into this pandemic, we're checking back in with three of our heroes featured earlier this year.

As part of the Sounds of the Season campaign in support of local food banks, CBC Fresh Air host Jason D'Souza will speak with guests on December 10 and December 17 on CBC Toronto's Instagram Live about community, food security and extending kindness through the holiday season.
