I am ready and prepared to lead our Union, and promise to continue our important work to promote and protect the socio-economic welfare of registered nurses in this province.

Alberta and Nova Scotia have also halted the company’s plans in their province while Quebec has a law preventing the act of paid blood/plasma donations. DID YOU KNOW?
