In this op-ed, RNAO CEO Dr. @DorisGrinspun and President @SueLeBeau1 remind us that nurses are guided by a simple principle: prevention is better than treatment.
"The same principle should guide governments in responding to #ClimateChange."
As devastating wildfires force thousands of Ontarians from their homes across northern Ontario, they call on Premier @fordnation to show the same determination to prevent these catastrophes.

Funding for safe consumption sites across Ontario is on hold. Several life-saving sites have closed & others are risking closure because of gov't's freeze on approvals.
Join nurses & allies on May 28 as we march to Queen's Park to demand permanent funding for SCS across Ontario.
