Our 1st Annual Nurses Appreciation Brunch was a huge success. Held at the lovely Van Dusen Gardens on Sunday, May 7th, we recognized the contributions of families with a history of inter generational nursing and featured special guests – from our own board, Heather Mass who celebrates an amazing 4 generations of nursing in her family, and Kate Shields, a 2016 Bursary winner who is just beginning her nursing career ‘journey’. We also proudly honored nurses – past, present and future, who were in attendance.
We would like to give a big thank you to the following community partners in helping make this event possible and
honouring past, present and future nurses.
