“Nurses across Prince Edward Island show up every day with skill, compassion, and dedication for their patients and communities,” said Kim Sears, President of the PEI Nurses’ Union. “Nurses Night is a meaningful opportunity to pause and recognize that commitment, and we are grateful to the Charlottetown Islanders for continuing to celebrate nurses in such a visible and positive way.”
Islanders President Jason MacLean expressed his appreciation for the continued partnership with PEINU:
“Our nurses are there for our communities day and night, often in the most challenging circumstances,” said MacLean. “Nurses Night is an opportunity for us to give back, recognize their incredible impact, and say thank you on behalf of the Islanders organization and our fans.”
