On March 2, 2023, RNAO’s board of directors, assembly of leaders, communications and policy and political action executive network officers, and members of staff headed to the Ontario legislature for its annual Queen’s Park Day (QPD). Nurses met with MPPs over a series of breakfast meetings for the first time since 2020 and discussed priority issues, including RN understaffing and the opioid overdose crisis.
RNAO also released its Nursing Career Pathways report during a media conference the morning of QPD. The report was also discussed during the afternoon session at the University of Toronto’s Hart House, where leaders of the four political parties in the legislature and health critics formally addressed RNAO members and answered questions.
QPD is an exciting day of advocacy where politicians and nurses work together to improve the profession and health system for all Ontarians.
