Being front-line workers themselves, a number of Greater Sudbury’s mail carriers paid tribute to the health-care workers at Health Sciences North Friday afternoon to thank them for their hard work and commitment.
Monique Gour-Foucault, superintendent of the letter carrier depot in Sudbury, said 20 employees drove Canada Post vehicles past the emergency department, honking horns and shouting their appreciations to the nurses who gathered outside.
Gour-Foucault said her daughter and her daughter in law both work at HSN. Many of her fellow employees also have family members working there.
“We just want to thank them for their contributions,” she said. “Our letter carriers are out there every day delivering, so we know the risks involved. We are part of the community, and we just wanted to show our support.”
All of the letter carriers volunteered their time to be there, she said. They all enjoyed it so much, they are thinking about other similar parades, perhaps past long-term care homes in the city.
“This is for the health-care workers, but it’s also for us, because it really touches our hearts,” she said.
