This free NP Circle event took place on Tuesday, August 18, 2026.
Nurse practitioners from across the country joined the national launch of No One Left Behind: Decades of Growth, in partnership with NP Circle, for a special evening celebrating the history, growth, and future of the NP profession in Canada.
A continuation of the story that began with Claudia Mariano’s original No One Left Behind, this new book brings together the experiences of NPs working in different roles, communities, and areas of practice. It captures how the profession has evolved, the progress that has been made, and the work that still lies ahead.
Author Kim Harkness, Claudia Mariano, and contributors to the book will take us behind the stories, share personal reflections from their chapters, and explore what their experiences reveal about the profession today. We will also look ahead to the opportunities, challenges, and changes that could shape the next decade of NP practice in Canada.
