The Belleville General Hospital Foundation has launched a new campaign for the community to show their appreciation for all the healthcare workers during these challenging time.
A Love Locks installation has been unveiled, similar to what you might see in Paris.
“The installation is a celebration of love and unity, paying homage to the tremendous efforts of our front line workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Generously created and donated by Bellevue Fabricating, supporters can decorate the 8 ft by 8 ft heart by purchasing their own personalized padlock online at bghflovelocks.ca. Each coloured padlock represents a donation value and is intended to express the communities’ love for our amazing front line heroes,” said Steven Cook, BGHF Executive Director.
