Shirley Seward

Proudly Serving: Sobeys #510 North Sydney, NS

Position: Produce Clerk

Core Value: Proudly Serve Our Communities

Shirley has worked for Sobeys for 30 years and truly loves her job because of her co-workers, customers and sense of belonging. “Sobeys has been my second family since the day I started here.” She was nominated as a Value Champion after helping to organize the Bartown Dash, an event designed as a way to get people interested in historical sites within the community. One of the stops along the way was at the local food bank. “It was one of the biggest eye-openers because unless you use the food bank, sometimes you don’t realize exactly what it’s all about.” Shirley’s big heart comes from the example set by her father who passed away 29 years ago. “He was a wonderful man and great father and he always believed you get what you give and the more you give, the more you will get,” she says. “That’s where my heart comes from and I’m so glad I have his heart.”
