CNO’s 2022 Annual Report highlights our accomplishments in 2022 that will support our future success.
With the theme of “Looking Ahead,” the report illustrates the work CNO did in 2022 to protect the public by promoting safe nursing practice. It also shows how we build on these foundations in 2023 and beyond, to strengthen patient safety with agility, sustainability and innovation.
“I’m proud of the work we did in 2022 to help meet health care system needs at such a challenging time,” said Silvie Crawford, Executive Director and CEO.
“We have lots of accomplishments to build on and I’m excited for what it means for our future and patient safety.”

At its June meeting, Council reviewed the Annual Report and sent it to the Ministry of Health.

This initiative is part of CNO’s commitment to be accountable and transparent in both official languages and better serve Ontarians.
