Sunday moved from Nigeria to Manitoba in 1988, beginning a new chapter far from home. In his early years here, he worked three jobs with little sleep — determined to build a future through hard work, resilience and perseverance.
“Working in the hospital opened my eyes,” Sunday shares. “People outside don’t always know what’s happening inside. I just enjoyed helping.”
For more than two decades, Sunday has been a valued member of our Environmental Services team at CancerCare Manitoba. He is known not only for the excellence and pride he brings to his work, but for the spirit he brings to our spaces.
To colleagues and patients alike, Sunday is a beacon in the hallway. A simple “Good morning” from him can shift the tone of a day. His positivity, warmth and genuine engagement with everyone he meets help create the welcoming, compassionate environment that is so essential in cancer care.
Beyond his work here, Sunday also spent 17 years supporting individuals with disabilities in the community.
During Black History Month, CancerCare Manitoba recognize and celebrate the contributions, resilience and leadership of the Black community whose impact strengthens our health system and communities across Manitoba.
“When we see and value diversity,” Sunday says, “we begin to understand each other differently. And when we take care of our health, we can take care of everything else.”
