JUNE 2026

Unshakeable confidence in nursing and midwifery care

 
 
 

 

Surveys: Professional Boundaries and Conflict of Interest

BCCNM is seeking feedback on drafted revisions to the Midwives: Boundaries in the Midwife-Client Relationship standard and a newly drafted Midwives: Conflict of Interest standard. We are updating these standards to reflect today’s health-care settings, clarify expectations, strengthen public protection, and better support culturally safe and anti-racist care.

Surveys close June 24, 2026

National Indigenous History Month and National Indigenous Peoples Day

June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada, and June 21 is observed as National Indigenous Peoples Day. At BCCNM we remain committed in our work to address Indigenous-specific racism in the health-care system. We express gratitude to Indigenous Elders, Knowledge Keepers, leaders, consultants, families, and communities who continue to guide us in this important work.

We acknowledge the rights and title of the First Nations on whose collective unceded territories encompass the land base colonially known as British Columbia. We give specific thanks to the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking peoples the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations and the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh-ulh Sníchim speaking Peoples the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), on whose unceded territories BCCNM’s office is located. We also give thanks for the medicines of these territories and recognize that laws, governance, and health systems tied to these lands and waters have existed here for over 9000 years.

We also acknowledge the unique and distinct rights, including rights to health and wellness, of First Nations, Inuit​ and Métis peoples from elsewhere in Canada who now live in British Columbia. As leaders in the settler health system, we acknowledge our responsibilities to these rights under international, national, and provincial law.​
