I know we have lots of creative and talented members in our local! If you have any ideas, or would like to participate in creating a project, contact me at rscheffelmiar@una.ca. I would love to submit entries that highlight the diversity of nursing experiences in our local! See below for more information of this year’s engagement challenge.

To recognize the work of UNA Locals during Nurses Week, which is May 7-12 this year, UNA is inviting locals to submit examples of member engagement efforts created and used during that week.

The theme of this year’s challenge is safe staffing and sticking together. Locals are encouraged to enter submissions that follow that theme.

Entries will be accepted from or on behalf of locals in five categories divided by local membership size:

1: Best poster
2: Best photo
3: Best online meme
4: Best online video
5: Most creative engagement idea

Locals may submit multiple submissions in each category.

Winners and individual members will be presented with a special award certificate and have their submissions shown at the UNA Annual General Meeting in October 2024.

Locals are encouraged to recognize the members who participated in the creation of their submissions.

Submissions must be sent to nursesweek@una.ca by 23:59 on Friday, May 17. The winners will be announced after that.
