Administrative Professionals Day (April 27) recognizes and celebrates the work of secretaries, administrative assistants, executive assistants and other office professionals for their contributions to the workplace. Thank you to all of the amazing administrative professionals at our Hospital, Thunder Bay Regional Health Research Institute and Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation for your dedication, knowledge and hard work. Today, we celebrate YOU!

The Earth Day 2022 theme is Invest In Our Planet. What Will You Do? See earthday.org for ideas on what individuals and organizations can do to make a difference. We need to act (boldly), innovate (broadly), and implement (equitably). It’s going to take all of us. All in. Businesses, governments, and citizens — everyone accounted for, and everyone accountable. A partnership for the planet.

Our Hospital’s Green Team is proud of the initiatives that have been accomplished over the last few years – namely a number of energy savings projects, increased recycling, increased diversion of waste, and a number of initiatives to source products that can be composted or more easily recycled. Come see our display in the cafeteria glass cabinet. Also, we are currently starting to plan for what is next – and will reach out to get your input in the coming months.

For Earth Day 2022, together, for everyone, everything, every day. It’s time to Invest In Our Planet.

Happy Earth Day, from the Green Team!

This Tuesday, April 12th is CaRMS Match Day for our 4th year Medical Students. Match Day is a defining moment in a medical student’s career. It’s the day they learn which residency program they’ve matched with and where they’ll be spending the next several years training in their specialty.

To celebrate this day, a map of Canada will be posted in the Professional Staff and Learner Lounge for the students to pin their match location and specialty.

Please take some time to thank our graduating class of medical students for their contributions over this past year. You’ll recognize them by the red lanyards they wear. Academics would like to acknowledge the resilience and perseverance of this class while, studying, rounding, and providing patient care in the face of a global pandemic. The students last day on site will be April 17th.

Congratulations to all from Academic Affairs!
