During Nursing Week, we recognize and celebrate the incredible dedication, compassion, and resilience of nurses across Halton and Ontario.

Every day, frontline nurses provide exceptional care, advocate for patients and families, and help strengthen our healthcare system through both their clinical work and community leadership.

I also want to recognize organizations such as the RNAO Halton Chapter and its Policy and Political Action Network, whose members volunteer their time to advocate for the profession, raise awareness, and ensure nurses’ voices are heard within our communities.

Thank you to all nurses for the work you do each and every day, and for your continued commitment to caring for others, often during the most difficult moments in people’s lives.

🌍 As Earth Day comes to a close… let’s remember: this is not just about the planet — it’s about our health.

The climate crisis is a health crisis.

We are already seeing the impact at the bedside and in our communities:

• Increased respiratory illness from wildfire smoke
• Rising heat-related illnesses and dehydration
• Worsening cardiovascular conditions
• Greater risk for vulnerable populations — seniors, children, and those with chronic illness
As nurses, we don’t just treat symptoms —
we advocate for prevention, policy, and protection.

This is not a future problem.
It is happening now.

💚 Let’s be part of the solution — in our practice, our conversations, and our leadership.

Tonight at 8:30 PM, we pause.
Not just to turn off the lights—
but to turn on awareness.
For one hour, we stand in the dark
to reflect on something bigger than ourselves.
As a nurse, I see every day how our environment impacts health:
🌿 air quality
💧 clean water
🌡️ climate-related illness
🏥 strain on our healthcare system
Climate change is not just an environmental issue—
it is a health issue.
