SAGE would like to extend our gratitude to all of the incredible nurses and healthcare workers as National Nurses Week comes to a close. Nurses play an integral role in the healthcare system and they continue to keep our communities safe during the pandemic. It’s important that we stand with nurses and call for the repeal of Bill 124. Take action by writing to your local MPP here: https://rnao.ca/policy/action-alerts/repeal-bill-124-premier
The 2021 SAGE Impact Report is now posted! It summarizes our accomplishments, volunteer projects with long-term care homes, media appearances and much more! Thank you to our volunteers, sponsors, and collaborators for your strong support and we hope you will continue to participate in our future endeavours! The full impact report can be viewed or downloaded here. Dollarama recently donated a gift card to us to buy books, art supplies, stuffed animals, and chocolate for the residents and staff at The O'Neill Centre in Toronto! We thank them for their generosity and their contributions towards improving the quality of life of seniors in long-term care homes!
