ONEIG's Members' Voices from RNAO's 2021 AGM starting @13:04mins

ONEIG Members' Voices RNAO AGM 2020

On Sept 25th, prior to the fall 2019 Canadian federal election, ONEIG facilitated a webinar with Gideon Forman of the David Suzuki Foundation. In our current global context of a climate emergency and its related devastating human health impacts, it is imperative to mobilize the nursing climate action vote. This hour-long interactive webinar on climate change explored the opportunities for nursing advocacy in the context of a federal election.

Key learning objectives included understanding:

Why the upcoming federal election was important in relation to Canada’s role in mitigating climate change
The RNAO's federal election environmental platform
Ways to mobilize the vote for climate action in our communities while remaining non-partisan

A toolkit to accompany this webinar is available here.

Safe Drinking Water for All

Access to safe water and sanitation for all is essential to life and a matter of environmental and social justice. Unfortunately, there are over 100 drinking water advisories in First Nations across Canada and no national strategy to address urgent water issues.

Act now

Environmental Justice

The COVID-19 pandemic compounds harms of historically marginalized communities. Our collective recovery must build stronger, healthier communities, including healthy environmental public policy that challenges structural inequities, including environmental racism.

Just Recovery

Climate action

We need our governments to take immediate, future-minded action now to ensure the foundational conditions for human health and wellbeing are sustained for generations to come.

Ambitious Climate Action Now
