Take a look at how I created this National Day of Mourning Card.
Today, April 28, Nova Scotians come together to remember those who have died or were injured because of a workplace accident or work-related illness. To honour this day, I created this National Day of Mourning Card.
I worked at Oland Brewery for 37 years and Health and Safety was always on my mind. I served many years on the Safety Committee. My main goal was to work safely and go home at the end of the day in one piece. I am very blessed and fortunate that I was able to retire with my health. I created this “Thinking of You” Card to honour the people that weren’t as fortunate and their love ones that have to cope with their losses.
