The painting of a mural celebrating the 68th anniversary of the official registration of the Bermuda Industrial Union has been postponed due to inclement weather.

The Chewstick Foundation was due to begin painting the mural at 8pm to honour trade union pioneers Dr Barbara Ball, the first female doctor to practice in Bermuda, and Ottiwell Simmons, former general president for the BIU.

It is hoped that the mural painting will go ahead next Tuesday, weather permitting.
