We had a fantastic turnout at our joint Avenues of Nursing event with Western Fanshawe Student Nursing Association! The Kellar Room was packed with over 150 students who asked tons of questions for our presenters.

In a letter, RNAO CEO @DorisGrinspun reminds that housing is a fundamental determinant of health and a long recognized human right enshrined in Canadian law. #ONpoli "Rather than looking down on people experiencing homelessness, Ford should be providing more affordable and accessible housing options as well as social services to help them find work and live dignified lives in safe and healthy environments," she says.

Please join us October 10 at Covent Garden Market to recognize and honour our community members in London and surrounding area who have died while experiencing homelessness.

Premier @fordnation's plan to gut and prohibit #HarmReduction programming in Ontario – including the closure of 10 supervised consumption sites – is a triumph of ideology over health care. People will die preventable deaths as a result of the premier’s plan to withdraw these critical health-care services. Join us! Call on the premier to withdraw his plan to close SCSs & slash harm reduction services: RNAO.ca/policy/action-… #SayYesToSCS @DorisGrinspun @LhamoDolkar2023 @ClaudetteHollow @fordnation @SylviaJonesMPP @MichaelTibollo @MaritStiles @BonnieCrombie @MikeSchreiner @DrugStrategies @momsstoptheharm #cdnpoli #onpoli

Beg your pardon Mr. Poilievre, you now coin the Supreme Court of Canada as "a government bureaucracy"? Shame on you! This is from the same opposition leader who already said he will use the #notwithstanding clause to get his way. You want to be PM, and you're already undermining our democratic institutions. This is contempt of the courts - signature Trump behavior. This Conservative party of 🇨🇦 leader is promoting the most far-right ideas and policies our country has seen. Poilievre is akin to the People's Party leader Maxime Bernier. #cdnpoli #cdnmedia Mr Poilievre thrives on driving divisiveness and discontent using bot farms and disinformation. Poilievre People's Party -- PPP -- too much of a risk 🚫🔥🚫🔥🚫🔥 Wake up, Canada 🇨🇦 lets organize grassroots up to vote strategically riding by riding, and stop 🇨🇦 Trump!
