Remembrance Day – November 11

Lest We Forget...


On this day of remembrance, the NANB Board of Directors and staff come together in gratitude to honour the courage and sacrifices of all who have served in the Canadian Armed Forces. We remember the veterans who gave their lives in service to our nation, and we recognize those who continue to serve at home and abroad.


We hold in special remembrance the registered nurses who have served on the front lines of conflict, bringing healing and humanity to those in need. Their legacy reminds us of the strength, compassion, and resilience that define our profession.


In honour of Remembrance Day on November 11, NANB’s office will be closed.
