Cindy was nominated for this award by a 4th year BScN student, who wrote that Cindy was "an educator, a listener, a promoter and an overall value to the nursing profession. Her exceptional care of clients, and dedication to the future of our profession makes her an incredible nurse and a remarkable teacher."

April 20, 2014 - 3rd year nursing student Ashley Bulley and her husband's own fertility challenges prompted them to pursue in vitro fertilization (IVF) five years ago after raising the $17,000 cost through fundraising efforts of friends, family and the community. They are now the parents of twins. This endeavour not only inspired Ashley's nursing career, but also a need to make a difference for those less fortunate. Ashley and her husband began petitioning the government for IVF funding by gaining thousands of signatures, as well as the support of a number of members of parliament.
