Hello Ontario Nurses for the Environment!
What's in this email:
- Scholarship - tell people to apply!
- Climate in Therapy - in-person event in Ottawa
- Resolution for 2026 RNAO AGM
- Greening Nursing School Community of Practice
-------
Scholarship - Deadline extended until Feb. 1
This is the fourth year of the Ontario Nurses for the Environment $1000 scholarship. This year we took it in-house rather than through an external partner. This allows us to save $100 in administration fees, but also create criteria that hopefully create more value for membership. The challenge with this is that it is less visible, so please tell all of your nursing student friends!
Please access the application via this weblink.

2026 RNAO AGM Resolution

Greening Nursing School Community of Practice - Feb. 5 at 3 p.m. ET
Are you interested in helping green nursing schools? We hold bi-monthly meeting where nurses, faculty and nursing students from across Ontario, Canada and even internationally, come together to share ideas. Topics covered include reducing the environmental footprint through projects like Greening the Lab, plus finding ways of introducing planetary health and disaster management competencies to curricula.
