    Dear Premier Ford and Minister Fullerton,

    We are writing to express our grave concern regarding the Jan. 8, 2021 directives, outlined in a Jan. 27, 2021
    memorandum to long-term care (LTC) home licensees across Ontario. While RNAO, along with NPs and all
    nursing staff in LTC always adhere diligently to all government directives, these particular directives are cause for
    serious concern.

    Dear Premier Ford and Minister Elliott:

    Our members/staff are engaged community health providers who have been fighting on the front lines of the
    COVID-19 pandemic since it began. We are aware that vulnerable and home-bound individuals in the
    community are slated as the next priority group to receive vaccinations. These people are cared for by our

  • Letter: Expedite the passage of Bill 105, the Mandatory Police Training Act, 2019
    Thursday, December 19, 2019 - 15:16

    Mr. Calandra,

    The Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) urges you to expedite the passage of Bill 105, the Mandatory Police Training Act, 2019 through the legislative process. As you will know, MPP Kusendova's bill prohibits a person from being appointed as, or acting as, a police officer or special constable unless the person has been successfully trained in the use and administration of naloxone, a life-saving medication that blocks the effects of opioids.

  • Letter: RNAO's response to Bill 132
    Friday, November 29, 2019 - 14:44

    Dear MPP Ghamari and members of the Standing Committee on General Government,

    On behalf of the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO), I wish to thank you for the opportunity we had to present the views of Ontario’s registered nurses, nurse practitioners and nursing students on Bill 132 on November 25, 2019.
