Chilliwack – “On Guard for Thee” has been generously donated to Chilliwack General Hospital (CGH) by well-known local artist Chris Woods to honour all hospital workers for so bravely responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The piece was created for the 2020 Chilliwack Mural Festival and was on display at the Book Man on Wellington. “On Guard for Thee” is now installed in the waiting area of the CGH – Emergency Department as a reminder of the heroic service during this global crisis.
“This past year has been a difficult marathon,” said Petra Pardy Executive Director CGH. “All of our staff have had to make sacrifices and significant adjustments to their work and personal life.”
“Their commitment and sacrifice will have a lasting impact for generations to come.” Shared Chris Woods, Artist. “We owe everything to this new generation of warriors – this COVID Generation. ‘On Guard for Thee’ is a thank you to all of them.”
