Hello, Region 9 and Region 10 members!
We hope this email finds you well. We are delighted to announce that RNAO Region 9 and 10 are collaborating for a hybrid event taking place in Kingston, Ontario on May 9, 2023. While nurses care a lot and are the backbone of health care, our backs are in need of care and tenderness. We anticipate the event will connect nurses and empower them through that connection. We expect it will also help to support nurses' better mental health and wellbeing.

Hello Region 10 members,
June marks National Indigenous History Month (NIHM) in Canada. It is a time to provide opportunities for all Canadians to acknowledge and reflect on the past and present-day injustices and policies, such as the residential school system and the Sixties Scoop. NIHM must not only be about acknowledging and understanding the history of Indigenous peoples in Canada, but also an opportunity to learn about and practice the act of reconciliation.
