Northwell's Sandra Lindsay to Be Inducted as a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing
NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Honoring her courage during the COVID-19 pandemic and her tireless advocacy for the medical and scientific community throughout her career, Northwell Health's Sandra Lindsay, DHSc, MBA, RN, vice president of public health advocacy, has been named a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing. The Academy is a policy organization and an honorific society that recognizes nursing's most accomplished leaders in policy, research, practice, administration and academia. On December 14, 2020, Dr. Lindsay gained international acclaim as the first person in the United States to receive the COVID-19 vaccine outside of a clinical trial. This courageous act earned her the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, from President Joe Biden on July 7, 2022, along with numerous other accolades. She has since become a leading voice for scientific and clinical advocacy, global health, health equity and nursing leadership. Induction into the Academy is a significant milestone in a nurse leader's career in which their accomplishments are honored by their colleagues within and outside the profession. Fellows are selected based on their significant contributions and impact to advance the public's health. 'I am deeply honored and humbled to be inducted into the American Academy of Nursing. This recognition is not just for me, but for my entire nurse family at Northwell and beyond, who tirelessly dedicate themselves to the health and well-being of our communities,' said Dr. Lindsay. 'This fellowship affirms the vital role nurses play in shaping health care, advocating for our patients, and advancing the profession. It inspires me to continue working towards a more equitable and just health care system for all, and I am incredibly grateful for the support and encouragement I've received along the way.' Dr. Lindsay is a champion for community health and public policy, working to correct misinformation and promote both medical research and global health equity. She brings nearly three decades of nursing experience to this role, including her previous position as director of patient care services in critical care at Northwell's Long Island Jewish Medical Center. As vice president of public health advocacy and host of Northwell's award-winning 20-Minute Health Talk podcast, Dr. Lindsay has used her platform to focus on improving health care access, particularly overseas and in her homeland, Jamaica. In addition to leading clinical trips abroad, she has also championed efforts to address period poverty, ensuring young girls and women in Jamaica have access to essential menstrual supplies and resources. 'Sandra's induction into the American Academy of Nursing is a tremendous accomplishment that recognizes her extraordinary contributions,' said Maureen White, Northwell's executive vice president and chief nursing officer. 'Her career and personal achievements exemplify the power of hard work and dedication, while her unwavering commitment to the medical community, especially during and after the pandemic, has been inspiring. On behalf of Northwell Health, and particularly our dedicated nursing staff, we congratulate her on this prestigious honor.' Her writing has appeared in publications such as TIME Magazine, American Nurse Journal, and Nursing Management, and she is a sought-after speaker at international forums and events on public health topics. Dr. Lindsay also authored the memoir ' First in Line: How COVID-19 Placed Me on the Frontlines of a Health Care Crisis,' which chronicles her life's journey from her upbringing as an immigrant to becoming a prominent advocate for health equity. Dr. Lindsay immigrated to the United States from Jamaica with her siblings in 1986 to fulfill her aspiration of becoming a nurse. Her academic credentials include an associate degree in nursing from Borough of Manhattan Community College, a Bachelor of Science in nursing from St. Joseph's College, a Master of Science in nursing from Herbert Lehman College, and both a Master of Business Administration and an honorary doctorate from Hofstra University. Dr. Lindsay and the 2025 inductees will be recognized for their substantial, sustained and significant contributions to health and health care at the Academy's annual Health Policy Conference, taking place on October 16-18, 2025 in Washington, D.C., during the Induction Ceremony on the evening of October 18th. After the ceremony, the new inductees can use their FAAN (Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing) credential, the most prestigious recognition in nursing. Kerri Scanlon, MSN, RN, FAAN, Northwell's senior vice president and president of Glen Cove, Plainview and Syosset Hospitals and Ashley Graham-Perel, EdD, RN, NPD-BC, MEDSURG-BC, CNE, FADLN, FAAN, assistant professor of nursing at Columbia University sponsored Dr. Lindsay for her fellowship. The newest Fellows, were selected from a sizeable and competitive pool of applicants, represent 42 states, the District of Columbia, and 12 countries. Their unique expertise will soon bolster the collective impact of over 3,200 Academy Fellows.

Finlay Minerals announces the commencement of the 2025 PIL & ATTY Property Exploration Programs
VANCOUVER, BC, June 18, 2025 /CNW/ - Finlay Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: FYL) (OTCQB: FYMNF) ("Finlay" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the start of the 2025 exploration programs for its PIL and ATTY Properties within the Toodoggone Mining District of Northern British Columbia. These programs are fully funded under the Earn-In Agreements with Freeport-McMoRan Mineral Properties Canada Inc. ("Freeport"). Under these agreements, Freeport can earn up to an 80% interest in each property by investing $35 million in exploration expenditures and making cash payments of $4.1 million over a period of six years. (Reference #1). The exploration programs at PIL and ATTY are designed to best outline and prioritize as many targets as possible for drill testing in 2026. The 2025 programs at both PIL and ATTY will consist of the following activities with Finlay acting as Operator: Detailed, property-wide ,100 metre ("m") line-spaced airborne magnetic surveys; extensive induced polarization ("IP") geophysical surveys; detailed geological and alteration mapping and expanded rock and soil sampling on up to 8 target areas on the PIL and up to 3 target areas on the ATTY depending on weather and conditions. The exploration crews are anticipated to arrive on the PIL Property in the coming week and the exploration programs are expected to extend into late August. Finlay will provide additional updates on the progress and results of the exploration programs as they become available in the coming months. Finlay's President and CEO, Ilona Lindsay, states: " The proposed exploration programs for 2025 will permit us to continue to advance these promising projects through systematic exploration," says Lindsay. "We are excited to build on the successes of previous exploration campaigns, especially given the highly encouraging results seen at the PIL South and in the Wrich area. Freeport's expertise and funding significantly enhances our ability to carry out systemic and comprehensive exploration across both properties. This is a transformative opportunity for Finlay Minerals." PIL Property: Exploration on the PIL Property will focus on the western Toodoggone porphyry corridor that includes Freeport and Amarc's newly discovered AuRORA Au-Cu porphyry system, Centerra Gold's Kemess North and Kemess East Deposits and the former Kemess South Mine – refer to Figure 1. Exploration will be prioritized at and around the PIL South Target, working on the theory that the major porphyry centres occur along northeast-southwest trends within this corridor. In 2024, drilling at PIL South intercepted Cu-Au porphyry mineralization. Other targets on the PIL Property include favorable geological, alteration, and surface geochemical environments with other porphyry indicators such as high-sulphidation systems. Details of the PIL Property exploration targets can be found in the Company's PIL Technical Presentation on the Finlay website at ATTY Property: Exploration work on the ATTY Property will focus on the Wrich target which is adjacent to the SWT target on the Joy Property. The SWT target hosts a >2 kilometre ("km") copper geochemical anomaly that is open to the south and extends onto the ATTY Property for another 1.2 km to the southeast. Details of the ATTY Property exploration targets can be found in the Company's ATTY Technical Presentation on the Finlay website at Freeport negotiated Earn-In agreements on both the PIL and ATTY Properties whereby Freeport can earn an 80% interest in each property by spending $35 million in exploration expenditures and $4.1 million cash payments of over six years (Reference # 1). Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) is a leading international metals company focused on copper, with major operations in the Americas and Indonesia and significant reserves of copper, gold, and molybdenum.

The Toodoggone is a northwest-trending belt of Triassic to Jurassic arc terranes that hosts numerous significant porphyry Cu-Au ± Ag and associated epithermal Au-Ag deposits. The ATTY Property is in between and contiguous to Centerra Gold's Kemess Project and the JOY Project held by Amarc Resources and Freeport-McMoRan. The ATTY Property's KEM target has similarities to the Kemess North Trend, which hosts the Kemess Underground and Kemess East deposits. The PIL Property, which covers 13,374 ha in the heart of the Toodoggone region, has numerous porphyry Cu-Au ± Ag targets and associated epithermal Au-Ag mineralization. The PIL Property is neighboured by Amarc Resources and Freeport-McMoRan's JOY Project and TDG Gold Corporation's Shasta/Baker and Sofia Properties. The PIL Property is also 25 km northwest of Centerra Gold's past-producing Kemess South Mine and 15 km east of Thesis Gold's Lawyers Project. The Silver Hope Property covers 21,322 ha and surrounds the past-producing Equity Silver Mine in the prospective Skeena Arch region of central B.C. The Silver Hope contains the Main Trend which is a >2 km Cu-Ag-Au mineralized trend with mineralization starting at surface. West of the Main Trend is the West Cu-Mo Porphyry which is also mineralized starting from surface. The Property hosts a network of forestry roads and trails and has all-year access from Houston, BC. The SAY Property covers 26,202 ha and is located 140 km north of Smithers, B.C. The SAY Property is within a 135-km long belt of relatively unexplored Stikine Terrane, with American Eagle Gold's NAK and Amarc Resources and Boliden Mineral Canada's DUKE Cu-Mo-Ag-Au porphyry prospects at the southern end, to HDI Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd.'s Jake Project Cu-Au-Ag porphyry discovery at the north end of the belt. The SPUR and SHEL zones are the most advanced targets on the SAY property. The SPUR is a high-grade Cu-Ag structural controlled vein and breccia target extending for 4.3 km with assays up to 15.8% Cu and 993 g/t Ag. The SHEL target area is a Cu-Mo porphyry identified by historic mapping and drilling. The JJB Property covers 15,423 ha 10 km north of the SAY Property. The JJB Property covers known gossans with associated Cu-Au-Ag geochemical anomalies. Finlay trades under the symbol "FYL" on the TSXV and under the symbol "FYMNF" on the OTCQB.

International Speaker Announced For ACT's 2025 Rally In Auckland
ACT is proud to announce that the international keynote speaker for the Party's 2025 Rally on 13 July will be Dr James Lindsay – a globally recognised advocate for free speech, open inquiry, and classical liberal values. 'ACT's annual rally always features a thought-provoking keynote to elevate the standard of public debate in New Zealand,' says ACT Leader David Seymour. 'Dr Lindsay fits that tradition perfectly. He is the author of the bestseller Cynical Theories and one of the world's leading lights in the fight against identity politics, conformity and oppression. His message about reclaiming liberalism in an age of extremes could not be more timely.' 'Last year, Paul Henry's address at ACT's rally was viewed more than 250,000 times by Kiwis who wished they'd attended in person. This year, I predict it will be even more important not to miss out.' Notes: Dr Lindsay is an American author, mathematician, and leading advocate for free speech and intellectual freedom. He is the founder of New Discourses, a platform dedicated to defending reason, open debate, and the principles of liberal democracy. His bestselling book Cynical Theories has become a global phenomenon, exposing how radical ideologies undermine free societies. Dr Lindsay's message resonates with everyone concerned about the rise of identity politics, censorship, and authoritarian thinking. He has spoken before the US Congress, universities, and grassroots movements around the world. At a time when free expression is under threat, Dr Lindsay delivers a clear and urgent message: we must stand up for liberty, open inquiry, and common sense.

Eglinton Crosstown LRT train operations have been transferred to TTC, Metrolinx interim CEO says
The Eglinton Crosstown LRT is one step closer to opening. Train operations for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT have been transferred over to the TTC, Metrolinx's interim CEO Michael Lindsay and Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria confirmed Tuesday. 'Major milestones have been met,' Lindsay said at a news conference to announce the groundbreaking of the East Harbour Transit Hub. 'As of today or tomorrow, movement of trains on the line is actually governed by the TTC, as it will be when the line is in revenue service.' This doesn't mean that the project has officially been handed over, TTC spokesperson Stuart Green explained. In order for that to happen, the project has to reach 'substantial completion,' which requires the approval of an independent certifier, Green added. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW 'The good news, though, is that this week, train operations were transferred into our Transit Control Centre from a temporary control centre as testing, training and construction continue,' Green said. Operator and driver training has been completed, Lindsay confirmed, adding that 'we are relentlessly stress-testing both (the) system and vehicles.' 'We're doing the things for this line that, frankly, were not done for projects like the Ottawa LRT,' he added. The $2.1-billion Ottawa LRT, much like the Eglinton line, was plagued with delays and flaws. Problems with the project included a massive sinkhole during construction, and after the line opened in 2019, repeated derailments and even service shutdowns caused by freezing rain. ACS Infrastructure Canada and EllisDon were part of both the Ottawa and Eglinton LRT construction consortiums. With 25 stops stretching from Mount Dennis in the west to Kennedy in the east, the 19-kilometre Eglinton Crosstown LRT was initially meant to be ready by 2020. A pandemic and several lawsuits, as well as software glitches, have hampered the line's opening, even after the Star received an exclusive tour of the LRT in May 2023. The completion of the LRT had been promised, then pushed back, for three years, until the transit agency declined to give a projected opening in 2023, instead announcing it would give the public three-months' advance notice instead. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Gta With Eglinton Crosstown LRT, Metrolinx says it's trying to avoid a repeat of this transit project nightmare Andy Takagi Testing and more testing for the LRT As of now, the Crosstown is still undergoing tests to check how the trains are performing, and Lindsay added, 'that's going pretty well.' The purpose of all this rigorous testing, Lindsay said, is to demonstrate 'to ourselves, collectively, that it's going to perform the way that we want it to on the day that it opens.' Once the Crosstown system 'achieves a certain level of stability,' Lindsay explained, there will be two further steps for testing. The first will be a 14-day trial run of the line, followed by a 30-day revenue service demonstration, where the system will run 'as it will run when it is open to the public, (but) with no passengers on it.' After those two trials, following the 'substantial completion' of the project, the LRT will undergo a 'bedding-in period' of more testing — which Lindsay said was implemented as a direct recommendation in the aftermath of the Ottawa LRT's troublesome rollout. September opening for the Crosstown Lindsay said 'if everything goes according to plan' with the testing, the LRT is expected to open for a September or fall opening, with the caveat that 'we cannot, cannot open that system if it is not going to perform.' ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW The province will be the one to decide an opening date, the TTC's Green added, 'when we are confident the line is ready for safe and reliable operations.' The Star reported in March that the Eglinton Crosstown LRT is expected to open in September, according to sources close to the project. Star Exclusive Eglinton Crosstown LRT finally has an opening date, according to sources Andy Takagi Coun. Josh Matlow, whose ward straddles Eglinton Avenue between Dufferin Street and Mount Pleasant Road, is calling for a public inquiry into the Crosstown's long journey to completion. 'Today they're boasting about something that they shouldn't be boasting about,' Matlow said. 'They should actually be humble about the fact that this has been a mess. It has hurt people, it's hurt businesses and there needs to be accountability for that.' Matlow questioned whether Metrolinx would learn lessons about the mistakes and delays that hampered the Crosstown. 'There needs to be daylight shone in so that the public can trust that they've learned from these mistakes and that they'll do it better,' he added. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Premier Doug Ford, asked for his comments on the 14-year-long wait for the Crosstown's opening, praised Lindsay, calling him 'brilliant and a champion.' 'This has been way too long,' said Ford, who has been premier for seven years of the LRT's 14 years of construction. 'It was a mess for years. But we inherited a mess, now it's going to come to fruition.' 'Safety is the No. 1 priority,' said Ford, who added his thanks to the TTC for its partnership. 'It'll be up to them to make it happen. Let's get it done.' With files from Ben Spurr and Mahdis Habibinia. Correction – June 17, 2025 This article was updated from a previous version that mistakenly said the Eglinton LRT had officially been handed over to the TTC. In fact, train operations for the transit line have been transferred to the TTC.
