Dear CHNIG Members,

Dear CHNIG members,
Happy Nursing Week! The World Health Organization (WHO) designated this year, 2020, as the “Year of the Nurse and Midwife” in honour of the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birthday. Nightingale was famously known as “The Lady with the Lamp,” and provided care and comfort to the sick throughout the Crimean War. During the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses continue this tradition by providing knowledge, expertise, quality care, and comfort, to clients and their families.
Dear CHNIG Members,
Due to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation in Ontario, the CHNIG Board of Directors has held a meeting last week and made a decision to postpone our CHNIG Workshop, originally scheduled for Saturday, March 28, 2020. We used the guidance on mass gatherings provided by the Public Health Agency of Canada to reach our decision.1
Happy March CHNIG members!
