    Hello OCNIG Members:

    From time to time, OCNIG is invited to stakeholder consultations and given an opportunity to comment/make suggestions for change. With an executive committee composed of front-line nurses and nursing managers we have perspective into current issues. We are seeking direction from our membership to ensure that our conversations align with the perspective of our general membership as well.  Please consider these two topics and provide your input by emailing us at ontariocorrectionalnurses@gmail.com:

    The OCNIG AGM is less than 2 weeks away! In addition to our agenda, we hope you will join us at this year's AGM closing keynote presentation; a panel of nurses and other experts in public health will explore the social, legal and health implications of legalizing cannabis.

    They will share their expertise and experiences, and discuss nurses' unique role in educating Canadians about cannabis and pushing for a public health approach to legalization.

    We have confirmed Paula Manuel as our guest speaker.  Paula is affectionately dubbed the "self-care guru of nurses".  She is going to talk to us about managing the stresses of our work-lives and teach us some self-care techniques to help us get better at talking care of ourselves.  

    There is a cost to register for the AGM, but the cost ($34) will be fully refunded to you when you attend the meeting!
