OUR COMMUNITY

MAKE
YOUR MARK

VISIONARIES DO.

Heather Waloshuk earned her nursing degree while juggling
life as a single mom to three kids. She ignored naysayers,
determined to create a bright future for her family and
one day improve care for Indigenous people living
in northern communities.

“As a single parent, it’s my job to provide an example
to my children. As the first Indigenous representative
on the Nursing Students’ Association, it is also my duty
to be an example to Indigenous students. In doing so
I can challenge stereotypes faced by Indigenous
women and inspire my community.”

HEATHER WALOSHUK, MÉTIS
