York Region Celebrates National Nursing Week

On behalf of York Regional Council and The Regional Municipality of York, it is my pleasure to acknowledge May 8 to May 14, 2023, as National Nursing Week. 

Today, as we mark the beginning of National Nursing Week, we recognize the courage, sacrifice and commitment of nurses and the important role they play to support the health and well-being of all York Region residents.

Nurses are an integral part of our health care system, and as we continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, they will continue to play a critical role in protecting and promoting health and safety within our communities. Whether caring for patients, administering vaccines, providing community-based care or responding to an emergency, nurses put themselves and their families at great risk in order to support our residents when they need it most.

On behalf of York Region and our more than 1.2 million residents, I extend our greatest appreciation to York Region’s compassionate and caring nurses for the work they do to keep us all safe. Happy National Nursing Week and thank you for your commitment towards building a strong, caring, safe York Region for all.

York Region Chairman and CEO
