With great enthusiasm, and within minutes of the call to order, attendees launched into chorus singing a union staple, Solidarity Forever. Written in 1915, it is perhaps one of the most famous union anthems and a uniting mantra.

The NSNU sends a sincere thank you to all the teachers in our province.

Behind every nurse who cares for Nova Scotians, there were teachers who nurtured curiosity, encouraged learning and helped shape their path to nursing. Today, we celebrate their commitment to educating young Nova Scotians.
