Canadian company creates T-shirt honouring the country's top female doctors
A Canadian clothing brand has unveiled a T-shirt honouring the country’s top female doctors and their collective efforts against the COVID-19 pandemic.
The “Our Moment in Time” shirt was created by Silver Icing, a Vancouver-based clothing and lifestyle brand. The tee “was created as a shout out to seven women doctors who emerged early as part of the leading authority guiding the Canadian people through this pandemic,” reads the company website.
