Quilts for Survivors unable to ship quilts due to postal strike – CBC

Volunteers for the Timmins-based non-profit sew quilts to comfort Indigenous survivors of trauma
The quilts are piling up at the Quilts for Survivors studio in Timmins, Ont., and the waiting list grows longer for those who have asked for one.
The postal strike is preventing the non-profit from shipping the quilts to people across Canada.
The founder and CEO of Quilts for Survivors, Vanessa Génier, said prior to the labour disruption, they had sent out almost 6,300 quilts to survivors of residential school abuse and other trauma since 2021.
