Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Mom’s Lifetime SUN Membership Acceptance Speech (sometime in 2013)

I was so proud of my mom getting her lifetime membership in the Sask Union of Nurses ten years ago. Great speech and you can see where I got a lot of my personal values about supporting workers and treating others with empathy and respect.
