For two days, April 26-27, the Nova Scotia Nurses’ Union held a hybrid event that welcomed over 250 nurses, nursing students and leaders from across Canada.
In all, nine resolutions were debated, full financial reporting was undertaken, we premiered a brand-new rendition of O Canada sung by NSNU members, our keynote-presenter, Ann Divine, moved the audience with her stories and knowledge of equity, diversity and inclusion, we heard from members, and we welcomed several guest speakers; both virtually and on-stage.
We send special thanks to CFNU President Linda Silas, CLC President Bea Bruske, and Provincial Coordinator of NSHC, Chris Parsons for joining us live at our Lord Nelson venue.
Due to the virtual nature of the event, we also had the opportunity to hear messages of support and encouragement from those who couldn’t join us in person. We heard from Premier Tim Houston; Minister of Health and Wellness, the Honourable Michelle Thompson; NSFL President, Danny Cavanaugh; NSGEU President, Jason MacLean; NSTU President, Paul Wozney and many of our fellow nursing unions across the country.
Be sure to check out the videos and some behind-the-scenes photos online at nsnu.ca/AGM-2022. You’ll need your login credentials to access this portal of the website. You will also find the revised Constitution, Policy Manual and other documents online at nsnu.ca, under the About NSNU tab.
Many thanks also to the staff of the NSNU and Encore, our third-party service provider, who worked tirelessly to make this Annual General Meeting possible.
While we cross our fingers to meet with everyone for a more traditional, in-person AGM next year, we are grateful to have hosted two successful hybrid events. The virtual side of things can be unpredictable, and we are appreciative to all our members who participated from home.
