ACTION ALERT 📣 BC is falling behind in protecting patients, healthcare workers, and our healthcare system. As we enter fall and winter, Newfoundland, Labrador, PEI, and major Quebec and Ontario hospitals have already restored mask requirements in medical settings – yet so far, BC has failed to take action.
Instead of masks in healthcare, BC has:
🏥 increasing hospital & ER closures (over 250 so far this year)
🚨 expert warnings about the possibility of the "worst kind of flu season”, due to a mismatch between the current vaccine and an emerging dominant strain
🦠 a global surge of COVID-19
🐓 a rise in avian influenza outbreaks
☣️ increased measles exposures in BC, coupled with the loss of Canada’s measles elimination status 😭😭😭It’s past time for action. Head to https://donoharmbc.ca/masks-in-healthcare/ to join our renewed calls for BC to restore healthcare mask protections ASAP - and to improve them by closing loopholes and making respirators (like N95 masks) the default choice 😷

Advocacy alert 📣 Right now, BC is deciding what to spend money on in 2026 - and we need YOUR help getting key health priorities into the #BCBudget !
The province is asking British Columbians for our ideas for Budget 2026. We think they should include things like:
💨 #CleanAir measures
💉 Vaccine access including #Novavax
😷 N95s and tests
🩺 Better care for #LongCovid (and other complex chronic illnesses)Join us to help make it happen! You can submit your budget ideas til Friday, June 20 at 2 pm - and we even have some template answers to make it easier: https://donoharmbc.ca/bc-government-2026-budget-consultation/
We’ve seen before that advocacy makes a difference. In 2024, DoNoHarm BC’s budget campaign resulted in a commitment of over $3 billion in continued pandemic funding!
Let’s call on B.C. gov to put their money where their mouth is, when it comes to supporting the health of all British Columbians.

Hearts Based #Education and #AntiColonial #Learning in #Healthcare (H.E.A.L) Project is using the #arts to combat #HealthcareBiases.
“The H.E.A.L. #HealthcareProject provides #SystemicChange that is long overdue. I often think about the extractive ways that we talk about #CulturalSensitivity and #CulturalCompetency,” said Nicole Halbauer, H.E.A.L. Healthcare Project Manager.
The project will use #poetry, #storytelling, and #VisualArts to better understand patient experiences with a goal of #humanizing the healthcare system by bringing together #FirstNations #creators and #activists based in #PrinceGeorge.
They will work to create #ArtsBased and #AntiOppressive learning materials for healthcare staff including #nurses and #doctors.
The #FreeLessons will be available on the H.E.A.L Healthcare website.
The program is being organized by the Health Arts Research Centre in partnership with the Collaborating Centre for Indigenous Health.
The project is part of the federal government’s plan to create better and safer health systems for Indigenous people with $126.7 million being committed to the project over three years.

*Me, my Mom & my youngest brother are some of the many thousands of patients in #BritishColumbia who have been on the #WaitingList for a new family #doctor since our previous GPs retired.*
When the province introduced its #HealthConnectRegistry in 2021, we were told this would help #patients to find a #FamilyPhysician.
About 900,000 #BritishColumbians have no doctor, and while the #Health Ministry continues to announce the recruitment of new #physicians, that number has remained fairly constant for years.
Yet the #inability of the Registry to make meaningful progress is only one of its failings.
More troubling is that the Registry makes no attempt to place patients based on their age or #medical condition. This conflicts with one of the basic principles underlying medical practice, that faced with an inability to treat everyone who needs help, those with the most pressing requirements should come first.

The entire staff at #Agora, in #ViewRoyal, #VictoriaBC won't mask up so I'm not going In there. Changed my appointment today to phone appointment instead.
They're a privatized franchise with locations in #Vancouver, #Brampton & #Kingston - #Ontario. You should know that their staff don't wear #CovidSafety masks.
