Dear Colleagues,

We release this message to everyone in our community impacted by racism. We understand that Black students and faculty will be much more deeply affected by recent events and the day to day weight of systemic and historical racism. We offer our support for the struggles against racism now and in the days and years to come. We are grieved by the recent killing of George Floyd and other racialized people by police in Canada, United States and around the world. Racism is a threat to us all and we stand in solidarity with those fighting this cause.

Black Lives Matter.

In honour of all of the nurses who are out there on the front lines. We support you!

Welcome to Nursing Week 2020!

This year, Nursing Week takes place from May 11- 17. Our theme is: Our Calling: Care, Compassion, Comfort | Notre vocation : soins, compassion, réconfort

The World Health Organization has declared 2020 as The International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife and this year also marks the 200th birth anniversary of Florence Nightingale. She became known for her work in caring for casualties during the Crimean War and her visionary advancement for the nursing profession.
