Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe – our BC motto for 2020 and beyond.
The Gherkins are selling t shirts and totes to raise funds for our next refugee sponsorship.
The t-shirt features Dr. Henry’s “Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe” motto in English, Lekwungen, French, Chinese and Arabic. We believe Dr. Henry’s motto reflects a strong belief in the value and importance of care and compassion for our fellow humans.
