The Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU) is the nation’s largest organization representing frontline nurses across home care, long-term care, community, and acute care, including nursing students. It operates as a public policy-focused body that advocates on key health priorities and federal engagement in the future of public health care. The organization is based in Ottawa, Ontario, and functions as a mid-sized national entity. Its constituency comprises nurses across Canadian health-care sectors and nursing students who rely on CFNU to address workforce issues and health-system priorities through advocacy and policy work. A notable recent development illustrating its activity is a 2023 partnership with Queen’s University to study the growth of agency nurse use across Canada and its implications for the health-care system.
