Monday Mural

 I'm linking up at Monday Mural 

February 2023 - Hamilton ON

I have featured Lester Coloma in the past. Click on Coloma in the tags/labels below this post.

This is a new one we happened upon last week.

The Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science (CSMLS) celebrates it’s 85th anniversary in 2022 – what a milestone! For eight decades and counting, CSMLS has been the certifying and professional body for medical laboratory professionals across Canada. We are proud to have advocated and educated on behalf of all members, while continuing to support their career journey and growth.

To celebrate, CSMLS commissioned a mural by Hamilton artist Lester Coloma that honours the work of medical laboratory professionals and encapsulates all they do for patient care. Located in downtown Hamilton, Ontario, minutes away from the location where our Society was first formed in 1937, every detail in the mural was specifically chosen to represent different elements of the profession. From one medical laboratory professional using the microscope to another caring for a patient, members and patients alike can see themselves in Coloma’s work – showing just how entwined the laboratory is to every Canadian’s life.

10 YEARS OF MONDAY MURAL

I thought for fun, that I would reverse post my Monday Murals - April 22, 2013.

A. Schwab General Store, Memphis TN April 2013

A trip to A. Schwab is a step back in time to the great days of general stores, offering a great selection of everything you need, and many things you might not. We'd been in here on our previous trip to Memphis in 1992.
