Saskatchewan Union of Nurses

SUN represents RNs, NPs, and RPNs in Saskatchewan. SUN members work in a single discipline – registered nursing.

The Saskatchewan Union of Nurses (SUN) is a trade union established in 1974 under the Saskatchewan Trade Union Act. SUN represents Registered Nurses (RNs), Registered Nurse (Nurse Practitioner)s (RN(NP)s), Registered Psychiatric Nurses (RPNs) and graduates employed in rural and urban acute care hospitals; long-term care facilities; home care services; integrated facilities; public and mental healt

h services; school boards and Canadian Blood Services offices; as well as nurses working in advanced practice roles. They work in both preventative and treatment settings; they work alone and in teams. In all settings, SUN members must practice in accordance with standards set by the professional associations: the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses' Association (SRNA) and the Registered Psychiatric Nurses Association of Saskatchewan (RPNAS). SUN is affiliated with, and a proud member of, the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU), the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) and the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour (SFL).

In 2025, 27 Saskatchewan workers lost their lives due to workplace injury or illness. On April 28, the National Day of Mourning, we pause to remember and honour those who were injured or who tragically died on the job.

Let this be a call to action. By working together, we can prevent workplace injuries, illnesses, violence, and fatalities. Everyone has a role to play. Speak up, take action, and help make every workplace safer for all.

CFNU’s latest report reveals what over 1,300 nurse practitioners (NPs) across Canada are experiencing in their day-to-day practice.

The report includes 42 recommendations that deliver a clear roadmap for governments, employers, nursing leaders, researchers and unions to help NPs thrive. Investing in NPs through supportive work environments, fair compensation and strategic workforce planning is essential to sustaining Canada’s health care system.

Today, we honour Indigenous Nurses Day and recognize the contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis nurses across Canada.

This day honours Edith Monture, a Kanien’kehà:ka woman who became the first Indigenous registered nurse in Canada and the first Indigenous woman to gain the right to vote in a Canadian federal election.

Indigenous nurses continue to lead by bridging Traditional Knowledge and Western care, advocating for their communities, and advancing safer, more equitable healthcare systems.

Today, we celebrate their leadership, honour their legacy, and reflect on our shared responsibility to advance reconciliation and address systemic racism in healthcare.

The Saskatchewan Union of Nurses stands in respect, gratitude, and commitment, today and every day.

Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate the tireless activism of women all around the globe who have never given up on gender equity. Your collective strength inspires us to keep fighting every day. Nursing, a profession that’s predominantly women, often has to work twice has hard to have our voices heard. We will never stop challenging this inequity.

SUN President, Bryce Boynton, checking in from Parliament Hill to give an update on meeting with government, bargaining, and supporting current and future members.

02/04/2026

SUN President, Bryce Boynton, and First Vice President, Denise Dick, were on Parliament Hill today as part of CFNU’s National Executive Board meetings with MPs and Senators, advocating for solutions to the key challenges facing nurses and health care across Canada.

Bryce and Denise met with Saskatchewan Senator, Tracy Muggli, to discuss workplace violence and nurse safety, and with Shadow Minister for Labour, Kyle Seeback, to address short staffing and unsafe working conditions. There was shared agreement that evidence informed nurse patient ratios are a critical part of the solution.

They also met with Buckley Belanger, Secretary of State for Rural Development, to discuss rural and remote health care, workforce retention, and the ripple effects of service disruptions and closures that contribute to emergency department overcrowding, hallway care, and unsafe conditions in urban centres.

Nurse union leaders are calling for immediate action on four priorities violence and nurse safety, the nursing shortage crisis, health care privatization, and Indigenous health equity.
