United Nurses of Alberta’s three-day 2025 Annual General Meeting begins on Tuesday, October 28 in Edmonton. The theme is “Alberta’s Nurses Make It Better.”
Including delegates, observers, staff, and representatives of other unions and organizations, more than 1,000 delegates, staff, guests and observers are expected to attend the event at Edmonton EXPO Centre.
In tomorrow morning's session, delegates will hear reports from UNA President Heather Smith, Secretary-Treasurer Christina Doktor and Labour Relations Director David Harrigan.
Later during the AGM, elections will be held for regional district representatives.
In a closed-door session at the end of the day tomorrow, members will have the opportunity to question the Executive Board about the administration of the union.
On Wednesday, delegates will mainly work on the financial business of UNA. Formal moderated discussions on Wednesday and Thursday will consider issues in public health care and Indigenous health care.
The meeting’s agenda includes a recommitment to the shared journey of reconciliation made at the biennial convention of the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions in June. At that meeting, in Niagara Falls, Ont., delegates from nurses’ unions across Canada unanimously adopted the resolution acknowledging the nursing profession’s responsibility for truth, reconciliation and dismantling racism against Indigenous people in health care.
The UNA AGM’s business will conclude at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 30.
