The growing movement in British Columbia and across Canada to salute health care workers by clapping and making noise each evening at 7 p.m. will gain even more volume tonight.
A statement from the Chamber of Shipping, the voice for the marine industry on Canada's west coast, says all ships in B.C. waters will sound their horns in solidarity.
The statement says the audible celebration is noteworthy because ship crews are also working to maintain essential transportation networks.
The chamber says vessels move critical cargo directly supporting medical efforts or supplying communities to ensure they continue to function.
