RNAO is the professional association representing RNs, NPs & nursing students in Ontario. Our mandate is speaking out for nursing and speaking out for health.
Advancing Indigenous-led care: RNAO members will meet in Thunder Bay on June 10–11 for the third-annual #BPSO Indigenous-focused gathering.
This event will bring together Indigenous-focused BPSOs, health leaders, community partners, and knowledge holders from across Ontario to share experiences, strengthen partnerships, and advance culturally safe, community-driven care.

Refugees and asylum seekers come to Canada seeking safety — not new barriers to health care.
For newcomers already facing poverty, housing and food insecurity, and systemic barriers, co‑payments further undermine equitable access to essential health services.

Nurses know that supervised consumption services are evidence-based, compassionate, and essential.
Removing them will cost lives — but together we can push for change.
Join us in urging Premier @fordnation to reverse the decision to close supervised consumption services: RNAO.ca/policy/action-alerts…#HarmReduction
