ICU patient becomes a Canadian
Margaret Auld, centre, a patient in the Intensive Care Unit at St. Catharines General Site, cuts a celebratory cake after taking the oath of citizenship to become a Canadian while in hospital.
Illness prevented the Niagara Falls woman from attending the ceremony in the community, so Citizenship and Immigration Canada brought the ceremony to her in the ICU.
The Niagara Falls resident, originally from Scotland, is pictured here in the ICU with Citizenship and Immigration Officer Mary McKinnon, left, and husband Ronald Savoie.
A number of the couple’s family members and hospital staff attended the ceremony held in one of the patient rooms. «
