At the Seymour-Hannah Sports and Entertainment centre in Niagara, a colourful display of hope covers the glass of the main rink.* The mosaic is comprised of post-it-note messages from attendees of the clinics expressing their relief, hope and gratitude. During the 15-minute waiting period after receiving their vaccine, residents are given a pen and post-it-note to share a message. Thousands of community members have left a message. “Now I can see my great grandchild,” one reads. “RELIEF! Thank you,” reads another. RNAO member and clinical lead NP Christina Huntington says she is humbled by the community’s eagerness to participate. She says the brightly coloured notes provide a daily push to keep going.
