Truth and Reconciliation
BCNU is committed to advancing reconciliation with Indigenous peoples – a commitment that is necessary and reflective of our values. Learn more on the Truth and Reconciliation page.
Calendar of Observances
BCNU recognizes a number of multi-faith and -cultural days and various commemorative events or days which are listed in the calendar of observances. They remind us of the rich diversity of our union and our communities and encourages us to be culturally aware and culturally safe when providing care to our patients.
