Nursing Week
May 10-16, 2010

Whereas... In 1985, the Canadian Nursing Association established the second week of May as National Nursing Week to recognize the dedication and achievements of the nursing profession;

And whereas... The City of Kingston is committed to the health of its community;

And whereas... Consumers are demanding services that keep them healthy and injury-free;

And whereas... Consumers also need safe hospital services and competent care providers;

And whereas... Nurses provide care wherever and whenever needed;

And whereas... The first priority of Nurses is to care for and about people;

And whereas... Nurses help Ontarians achieve health and wellness by promoting health, preventing illness and providing illness care;

Therefore, I, Mayor Harvey Rosen, for the City of Kingston, Ontario, hereby proclaim the week of May 10-16, 2010, as "Nursing Week" in the City of Kingston.

DATED at Kingston this 21st day of April, 2010
