AGM 2025: Dates & Details

Dare, Dream, Deliver

In 2025, the 48th Annual General Meeting of the Nova Scotia Nurses’ Union will take place from April 14-17 at the  Best Western Glengarry Hotel in Truro. The theme for the 2025 NSNU AGM is Dream, Dare, Deliver, a catchy and meaningful title that captures the spirit of nursing professionals and the determination of the Nurses’ Union.

This upcoming event will include Board elections, requests for Expression of Interest for Standing Committees, nominations for Honorary Members, Resolutions and more. We will conduct union business, develop strategies,  make important decisions for the coming year, and discuss past, present, and future activities.

All AGM related documents, guides and forms are available at nsnu.ca/AGM2025. You will require your login credentials.
