MEDIA ADVISORY - Ontario Nurses' Association Leaders, Members and Staff To Participate in Toronto Pride Parade


TORONTO, June 22, 2018 /CNW/ - Ontario Nurses' Association (ONA) board members, leaders and staff will show their pride this Sunday as they join in Toronto's 2018 Pride Parade.

The ONA contingent will ride or march with the ONA float when the parade gets underway to support lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Ontarians.

ONA President Vicki McKenna, RN, says that "as nurses and health-care professionals, we feel strongly that we want to be there to support LGBTQ+ workers and patients. We know that some may feel invisible and unable to fully express themselves in their workplaces and communities."

As a strong supporter of human rights and equity, ONA believes that Pride is an opportunity to celebrate diverse histories, experiences, backgrounds and progress."

ONA is the union representing 65,000 registered nurses and health-care professionals, as well as more than 16,000 nursing student affiliates providing care in hospitals, long-term care, the community, public health, clinics and industry.
