NURSING WEEKE V E N T O R G A N I Z E R
It is already that exciting time of year where we begin planning for National Nursing Week, which is May 11 to 17, 2020.
The Canadian Nurses Association has highlighted that this will be a very special Nursing Week because the World Health Organization designated 2020 as the “Year of the Nurse and Midwife”. This is to honour the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth.
Last year, so many SEIU Healthcare members stepped up to make Nursing Week a big success in an incredible 80 units across the province. I know this year will be bigger than ever! It is thanks to your commitment to your profession and your union that our members can come together to celebrate nursing and plan for the future. Nursing Week is a great opportunity for us to determine our next steps forward in achieving our goals for improvement.
In this event organizer, there are several tools that will assist you and your colleagues for planning a fantastic Nursing Week celebration. Some ideas for your Nursing Week event include a pot luck, lunch and learn, a gathering to plan actions or political engagement such a meeting with your local MPP, or educational sessions.
We are excited to see how you participate in this year’s Nursing Week. Please share photos of your planning meetings and your events on social media using #SEIUNurses.
One Goal. One Team. One Vision. We Are Nurses!

Dear community member,
SEIU Healthcare is a union that represents more than 60,000 frontline healthcare workers in Ontario. Nearly 8,000 of those workers are nurses. This year, from May 11-17, Ontario will be celebrating Nurses Week. This is an opportunity for employers, the public, unions, and other members of the multi-disciplinary healthcare team and community to show their gratitude, support, and appreciation for the compassionate care nurses provide their clients, residents, and patients.
SEIU Healthcare nurses will be hosting a variety of events that celebrate the profession of nursing and nurses contributions to healthcare. We hope that your organization will contribute to making this year’s Nursing Week events successful and memorable for the nurses in our community.
We look forward to hearing from you and collaborating with your organization to bring love and appreciation to nurses.
Sincerely,
Nursing Week Planning Committee 2020
