You’re invited to our 2026 NSO AGM, held in conjunction with the Annual General Meeting. The NSO AGM is where you’ll get the chance to meet the NSO Executive, know what the NSO does, and meet the new executive! We’ll be highlighting some of our work, goals, and host a Q&A where our members will get the chance to ask questions that pertain to student members and how NSO represents Ontario nursing students at the provincial level! We encourage all student (and non-student) members to join us, ask questions and even see how YOU can get involved with the NSO!
