Attention Delegates:

The Convention Hub now appears to be back up, but the server situation remains unstable. As a result, delegates can access all reports and other material on the Convention Hub, but we will continue to ask delegates to watch the meeting proceedings on Facebook.

Watch here: https://www.facebook.com/NursesUnions/. Note that you can watch even if you do not have a Facebook account, but you must be on a desktop or tablet.

As always, voting delegates can vote at: https://nursesunions.ca/2021vote

Thank you for your patience thus far, and for rolling with us as we have responded to this global server outage.
