“Today we celebrate International Nurses Day as part of National Nursing Week. This year’s theme for National Nursing Week is ‘#WeAnswerTheCall.’
“This year’s theme is certainly fitting, as Canadian Armed Forces Nursing Officers, civilian nurses, and nurse practitioners continue to answer the call by providing essential support during the COVID-19 pandemic. Most recently, our military nurses have done so by helping to administer COVID-19 vaccines to citizens in Canada’s most remote and vulnerable communities, as well as to Canadian Armed Forces members at home and abroad.
