Volunteer Event for 1Ls at McInnes Cooper
McInnes Cooper is pleased to partner with the Telecom Pioneers – a group of Bell Aliant retirees who dedicate time to various volunteer activities – to invite all first-year Schulich Law students to a volunteer event to help make heart-shaped pillows for cardiac surgery patients at the QEII hospital.
Following the activity, students are welcome to mingle with McInnes Cooper members, enjoy some light refreshments, and learn more about the student recruitment process at the firm, as well as its Collective Social Responsibility Initiative, which includes community engagement, environmental stewardship, pro bono legal services, wellness promotion, and inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility (IDEA).
Why heart-shaped pillows? Heart-shaped pillows provide relief for cardiac surgery patients by stabilizing the chest cavity when coughing, repositioning, sneezing, or laughing, which can be painful after an operation. Beyond the physical benefits, the heart shape serves as a symbol of comfort, support, and survival, and the pillows often become cherished mementos of recovery.
