The Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU) is deeply saddened by the tragic mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. The CFNU condemns this act of targeted violence on people attending community celebrations for the first night of Hanukkah.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the victims, their families, and all those affected by this act of hate. We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community during this painful time.
Nurses and health care workers have been at the forefront delivering urgent care to those severely wounded and suffering unimaginable losses. Canada’s nurses extend our deepest sympathies and solidarity with our colleagues in the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation and the NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association as they continue their vital work on the front lines of this devastating act of hate.
