The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Over
North
Vancouver
Seymour,
thank
you.
Honorable
speaker,
I'd,
like
to
begin
by
acknowledging
I'm
speaking
from
the
lands
of
the
LA
congoon,
specifically
the
songis
and
esquimal
people,
North
Vancouver
Seymour,
my
riding
where
I
live
and
work
is
in
the
territory
of
the
Coast
Salish,
specifically
the
slave
tooth
and
Squamish
Nations,
and
I'm
grateful
to
have
the
opportunity
to
work,
learn
and
learn.
Alongside
these
indigenous
communities,
May
8th
through
14th
is
National
nursing
week,
centered
around
Florence
nightingale's
birthday
on
May
12th.
The
theme
this
year
is
our
nurses,
our
future.
A
This
theme
showcases
the
many
roles
that
nurses
play
in
a
patient's
Healthcare
Journey
the
pandemic
brought
to
light
the
courage
and
commitment
that
nurses
work
under
every
day
and
shows
the
important
role
that
nurses
play
in
their
communities.
The
following
passages
from
an
affirmation
affixed
to
the
wall
in
one
of
our
community
clinics,
nursing,
is
all
about
touching
lives
and
lives.
Touching
yours
along
the
way.
It
is
a
beautiful
thing
when
a
career
and
a
passion
come
together.
Our
job
is
to
love
people
when
it
hurts
when
it's
awkward
when
it's
uncool
and
embarrassing.
A
Our
job
is
to
stand
together
to
carry
the
burden
of
one
another
and
to
meet
each
other
in
our
questions.
Not
all
angels
have
wings.
Some
have
stethoscopes
once
a
nurse
always
a
nurse,
no
matter
where
you
go
or
what
you
do.
You
can
never
get
never
truly
get
out
of
nursing,
it's
kind
of
like
the
mafia.
You
know
too
much.
A
May
your
coffee
or
tea
be
strong
and
your
scrub
game
on
point
beautiful
enough
to
stop
your
heart
skilled
enough
to
restart
it.
The
best
way
to
find
yourself
is
to
lose
yourself
in
the
service
of
others
care
for
one.
That's
love
care
for
hundreds,
that's
nursing,
just
another
word
nurse
is
just
another
word
to
describe
a
person
strong
enough
to
tolerate
everything
and
soft
enough
to
understand
everyone.
