This annual celebration provides an opportunity to recognize and honour the achievements of Black communities across Canada. For more details, visit   here . As February marks Black History Month, it is a time to celebrate the diversity and accomplishments of Black Canadians while reflecting on Canada's history and the ongoing challenges faced, including systemic barriers and discrimination. NSWOCC acknowledges the pivotal role of Black nurses in shaping Canada's nursing profession, having spotlighted figures like Dr. Carrie M. Best , Bernise Redmon, and Clotilda Adessa Yakimchuk in past years. This year, under the theme of "uplifting future generations," we commit to addressing healthcare inequities. Recognizing the underrepresentation of Black nurses in healthcare and the need for greater study into wound, ostomy, and continence care for Black and dark-skinned individuals, NSWOCC is holding a panel at our upcoming National Conference titled "Addressing Healthcare Inequities in the Care of Black and Brown Skin,” which will be presented by Lori Zozolotto, BScN, RN, NSWOC, Shelly Philip LaForest, MN, BN, RN, CVAA(c), PhD student, and Dania Versailles, MScN, MScMHNP, BScN, RN, CPMHN(C).

Explore the full program at  NSWOCC Conference 2025 . We are grateful to each panelist and presenter for sharing their knowledge and expertise. We invite you to join us in honouring Black History Month this February. Let's continue this educational journey together this month and as we strive for a more inclusive and equitable healthcare environment.

At Friends of Ostomates Worldwide Canada (FOWC), our mission is simple: to ensure that ostomates in need have access to life-changing supplies, no matter where they live. Through partnerships with medical professionals, community organizations, and volunteers, we collect and distribute donated ostomy supplies to ostomates in countries where access to supplies is very limited. Today, our shipments support ostomates in Kenya, Ukraine, Iran, and beyond, providing dignity and improved quality of life to thousands. As we launch a new year of activities, we want to take a moment to recognize a leadership transition within our organization. After years of dedicated service, Lorne Aronson has stepped down as our Board Chair. Under his leadership, FOWC expanded its reach, strengthened partnerships, and built a solid foundation for the future. We are incredibly grateful for his vision and tireless advocacy for ostomates worldwide. Stepping into the role is Joel Goldenberg, who brings deep commitment and experience to guide FOWC forward. We are excited for the road ahead under his leadership. FOWC’s impact is only possible because of our generous supporters. If you’d like to learn more about our work, visit  our website . We are always eager to accept donations of unused ostomy supplies—if you or someone you know has supplies to contribute, you can find details on how to donate  here . Together, we can continue making a difference for ostomates around the world.
