Violence in healthcare is not inevitable — it’s the result of choices.

During CFNU lobby day, RNU President Yvette Coffey met with federal leaders to push for action on workplace violence, safe staffing, and mental health care.

A safe system is non-negotiable.

February is Black History Month.
Under the 2026 theme, “Honouring Black Brilliance Across Generations,” we celebrate Black brilliance while also reflecting on anti-Black racism and the systemic barriers that persist in Canada.

Grounded in member proposals and the realities nurses face every day, our team is ready to push for a collective agreement that reflects expertise, responsibility, and value. Nurses are system experts. Government must invest accordingly.

Strong communication matters.

Real progress depends on listening to those with solutions — especially frontline healthcare workers.

To move public healthcare forward, we must learn from past failures and ensure NLHS has the leadership and conditions it needs to succeed.
