After Sandi Jones lost her mother to cancer at a very young age, she decided to dedicate her career to nursing. Her driving force was to make a difference in people’s lives the way the nurses who cared for her mother did.

For nearly four decades, Sandi has been a frontline Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) in both the long-term care and hospital sector, while also proudly fulfilling multiple terms as a steward and health and safety representative.

After attending an SEIU Healthcare Leadership Academy where she met the former Nursing Division President, Jackie Walker, she was inspired to become more involved in the union and wanted to learn new ways to advocate for her fellow nurses and all healthcare workers. The 2018 Nursing Wave Team skyrocketed her union involvement as she facilitated more than 50 Workload Review education sessions across Ontario. Her frontline experience has propelled her in her role as an internal and external organizer and prepared her to serve as your Nursing Division President.

Sandi has also worked with our great union as an organizer, in internal and external capacities, ensuring SEIU nurses are protected, know their rights and have their voices heard. As a proud Métis, Sandi strongly advocates fairness, equity and inclusion.
