Award Recipient

Lacey Kirkness

CeraVe Skincare Scholarships for Diversity and Equity

My name is Lacey Kirkness and I am an Indigenous woman from Northern Manitoba. I come from a family of nurses, as my mother and sister are also RN’s. I started my nursing journey in my late 20’s as I wanted to gain some life experience first and travel. When the pandemic started, I knew it was time for me to begin my schooling and become a nurse to help. I’ve always wanted to be a nurse so that I could help my community and ensure that Indigenous peoples voices were heard in healthcare. Indigenous representation in healthcare is important and I am glad that I can help by becoming a nurse.

Giving Tuesday has become a global movement for giving and marks the beginning of the giving season for your favourite causes. Thank you for joining Canadian Nurses Foundation today as we celebrate our 10th annual campaign. Double your gift today!

We know that helping nurses and nursing students is a team effort. More qualified nurses, more nurse-led research, more nurses and nursing students supported with mentoring and proactive mental health programs and training – that’s the outcome of your support. This leads to a stronger, more robust healthcare system for Canada.

Your support today, on Giving Tuesday, empowers us to set ambitious goals, strengthen our resources, and show that our collective generosity fuels the next generation of nurses. Let’s make this year’s Giving Tuesday our most impactful yet, proving that our collective kindness can create lasting change.
