Rise Again

Singing from their homes and call-rooms, this Toronto-based choir of women physicians joined together to sing “Rise Again.” The song was written by Leon Dubinsky, and made popular by The Rankin Family, a musical group from Nova Scotia. The song was written to inspire resilience and solidarity during an economic crisis on Cape Breton Island in the 1980's, and Dubinsky has said that it is about “the meaning of children, and the strength of home given to us by our families, our friends and our music.” I am grateful for this strong group of women for their work and their music.
