Your voice on the Make It Better Campaign

Good afternoon ONEIG Members,

we hope you are enjoying the warm summer weather unlike many part of Europe we have been lucky this year with a cooler summer.

We are looking for members to video on the Make It Better Campaign focused on climate change and health campaign being promoted by the Ontario Public Health Association and supported by RNAO.

We want to video nurses like you about what you are seeing in your practice and the connection to climate change. It could be more heat stress, heat stroke, more allergies, lyme disease, west nile disease etc.

If you have some experience as a nurse and can share it we will help you prepare and do a short video the OPHA can use to promoted greater awareness.

We do not have long so please contact us via email if your interested.

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.
