Sharing Our Stories: COVID-19 In Battle Ground, WA (Photo)
- 04/27/20
This is a unique and historic moment in time as we respond individually and as a community to a global pandemic. COVID-19, and the actions set in place to prevent its spread, has presented new challenges and experiences that most of us never imagined.
The City of Battle Ground invites community members to share their COVID-19 stories. How are you and your family understanding and experiencing the effects of the virus and ‘Stay Home, Stay Healthy’ orders?
Your story and perspective has significant value to our community today as we are challenged to stay the course with physical distancing and at the same time, maintain our community connections. It also has historical value for future generations so they might understand what the experience was like for the Battle Ground community.
We have created an online form for you to participate by sharing your story. Participants may supplement their stories with photos or short videos. The submission form has questions that allow you to choose your level of anonymity and gives the City of Battle Ground permission to share the items you submit. Submittals will be accepted through Friday, May 8th.
Thank you for sharing your perspective and experiences. We are encouraged that this effort will foster connections within our community today and will provide future generations with a connection to the history of Battle Ground.
