Rocks of gratitude for health care workers

It’s a painted rock with a simple message of thanks and gratitude for our health care workers.

Tsawwassen resident Melissa Hance, who started a gratitude rock garden at her house, has now moved the idea outside Delta Hospital.

“I saw this idea from Steveston Rock Facebook group,” she said. “I started this fun initiative in my neighborhood for our kids and their friends to participate in to get us through Spring Break. We hide Mickey and Minnie rocks around Tsawwassen for friends to find and take pics with. We also drop some off to friends and they come and trade from our own gratitude garden in front of our house and we wave from inside or open the door to give a doorway hello.”

She said as a member of the Steveston Rock Facegroup group she saw them start to leave rocks at Richmond Hospital and thought it would be great if we could show support for Delta Hospital too.

“I posted on my own social media platforms as well as the Tsawwassen Loop to encourage people to drop off and take pics of their rocks next to the tree at the main entrance to the hospital next to the flag pole. I really hope this takes off and we can show our support and South Delta pride and love for our health care workers.”
