On Wednesday afternoon 5 May, the Deacon Bistro in Barrie Street, directly opposite the George Hospital, was the scene of a convivial mayoral occasion when George Mayor Leon van Wyk and Deputy Mayor Charlotte Clark were entertained to lunch by the George Hospital Trust (GHT).
This word of welcome and lunch were followed by a walkabout to show the future site of the Unity Garden where some 500 first responder doctors and nurses can find solace during their very demanding pandemic vocation.
