The 48th NSNU AGM will take place in Truro April 14-17, promising to be an enlightening and educational experience for all our attendees, familiar and new.
The AGM offers a face-to-face platform for members to inform and direct leaders and activists on matters of importance to the frontline.
The AGM also provides an opportunity for members to review constitutional language and, through the Resolution process, enact change and introduce new articles to better serve union members and the organization.
Once again, the NSNU will invite leaders and labour representatives from across the province and Canada to participate. They will bring greetings and share their
struggles, strategies, and victories.
Over the course of the meetings, delegates and observers will hear from Linda Silas, the president of the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions, friends from affiliate organizations, and government officials.
We are welcoming nursing students from campuses across the province, and NSNU members from close to 100 of our 124 locals, representing all three sectors.
There are many opportunities to meet with colleagues, both socially and while conducting union business in Truro, Nova Scotia’s Hub.
More information is available on the Members Only portal of nsnu.ca/AGM2025. Information is added regularly to the AGM pages. E-memos will also be sent to table officers to ensure everyone is prepared and apprised of any changes and our ongoing preparations.

Education Day
Plan now to attend the NSNU 2025 Education Day in Truro on Tuesday, April 15th where nurses exchange knowledge, discuss current trends, share best practices, and leave informed and entertained!
Nurses from across the province and nursing sectors who share a passion for education and learning will enjoy three interactive and inspiring sessions, as well as networking opportunities to help build union solidarity.
They’ll engage in round table and open forum discussions and hear from experts in various fields, capped off with a little lighthearted nursing humour.
The 2025 NSNU Education Day is not to be missed as we focus on critical issues facing healthcare and nursing, better preparing nurses and labour leaders for the realities of the workplace.
Watch for a detailed e-memo in your inbox that will include a final agenda, speaker bios, and more.
