In 2012, Kim M Watson, the President of the CTNIG at that time, established the CTNIG Award just as we were to celebrate our 10th year Anniversary. The award was created to recognize the work nurses do to embrace, introduce and integrate complementary therapies into healthcare within Ontario.
No one embodied this award more than Darka Neill; not only was she the spark that created this group, she was our first President. It was due to Darka’s dedication and commitment to the vision and mission of this group, that it came into being, as well as her efforts brought the group forward to celebrate its 10th year Anniversary. The first award was presented on November 10, 2012.
This award will be presented approximately every 2-3 years to honour and recognize the efforts and work of a Registered Nurse/RN in Ontario who continues to work towards the recognition, introduction and integration of the use of complementary therapies.
