Welcome to Forward Together with ONA, a podcast with Ontario Nurses’ Association President Vicki McKenna. ONA podcasts are a way for ONA to connect with you, ONA front-line registered nurses and health-care professionals. In this episode, we hear from Vicki about how ONA is moving forward, together. Vicki updates us about hospital sector central bargaining, the upcoming March Joint Sector Meeting and priorities as ONA’s elected President.

Linda Haslam-Stroud reflects on what ONA has accomplished both in 2017 and since its inception as it begins its 45th year. She also discusses her 40 years of nursing – and 14 years as ONA president, before her retirement.

Linda Haslam-Stroud, president of ONA, reports on the International Council of Nurses meeting in Spain, the Canadian Federation of Nurses Union gathering in Calgary, and the June Provincial Coordinators meeting. She also shares a David-and-Goliath tale about ONA and tells us why she’s cautiously optimistic about the proposed Ontario budget when it comes to health care.
