DescriptionYellow rectangular felt scarf. Narrative
The donor's surgical position with the Atlantic Veterinary College required that they continue to provide care to the animals at the college. This "scarf", along with a strike pass, identified the donor as an essential worker, reducing any tensions associated with staff crossing the picket line. At the time, only the faculty were on strike so it was difficult to identify staff from different unions who weren't on strike.
The UPEI Faculty Association went on strike from March 20th to April 14th 2023. This yellow scarf denoted essential faculty who were permitted to continue working during the strike. The donor is faculty for the Atlantic Veterinary College and therefore, an essential worker.
