Dear member,
FCNIG executive would like to offer undergraduate nursing students a free membership for the remainder of 2021. This is one way we can increase our profile as an interest group and it is possible with the reduced expenses in our 2021 budget, the result of COVID-19. We need the approval from our membership.

Dear FCNIG member,
The FCNIG Executive has met and revised the bylaws. These changes were presented at our AGM in November, and are not to approved by membership, via ‘one member one vote’. The bylaw changes are a result of our name change to Faith Community Nursing Interest Group (FCNIG). Additional changes comply with RNAO new guidelines for our executive structure positions and voting procedure.
FCNIG is happy to release our winter newsletter. You can read updates on our AGM and hear from our President Anne-Marie Mohler about 2019 Advent reflections.
We are wishing you and your families happy holidays.
