Today, we honour the Indigenous veterans who demonstrated extraordinary courage, commitment, and sacrifice.
Their contributions and bravery have often gone unrecognized, yet their legacy continues to inspire.
We remember and give thanks to the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis veterans.

CFNU is encouraged by capital funding for health infrastructure and supports for IENs promised in Budget 2025. While Canada’s nurses support these efforts, the budget ignored the urgent need for nurse retention & recruitment and did not offer any new funding for pharmacare agreements. (1/2) #cdnpoli
