Advocacy opportunity 📣 BC's Finance committee is now accepting written feedback on what to include in BC's 2027 budget. This is a critical chance to tell policy-makers to support clean air, Long COVID care, testing, wastewater monitoring and more.
Learn how to submit your written feedback at https://donoharmbc.ca/bc-government-2027-budget.../ - and find some sample answers you can use to make it easier! In past years, budget feedback has resulted in some notable successes - including a 2024 commitment of over $3 billion in continued pandemic funding.
This year's feedback deadline is 2 pm (Pacific Time) on Friday, June 19. Note that if you're already scheduled to present directly to the finance committee, you do *not* need to do a written submission as well.

Input opportunity 📣 We've been asked to share a new initiative by a research team at UBC. Right now, they're setting priorities for new research around "healthcare barriers related to respiratory infection risk" - and they want to hear from people across BC about what to focus on!
Do you live with chronic physical health conditions that increase risks from respiratory infections? Are you a family member, caregiver, or advocate for people with chronic physical health conditions? Your input can help shape future research projects!
👉 Take the anonymous survey: https://ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6xtweXavuikuiOy (Note: if you comment, like, or share this post you may become publicly identified with the study.)
Questions? Email: [email protected]. More about who's working on this initiative: https://heet.nursing.ubc.ca

@avilewis Bonnie Henry removing mask mandates resulted in my Dad getting infected by #unmasked hospital staff. He died from covid cardiac arrest in 2023. This was government sanctioned #murder by #eugenics policies. Every single political party has failed to protect citizens, especially most vulnerable ones. Every single politician has normalized eugenics. That will end up costing provincial & federal governments, millions, if not billions to deal with long covid & many other preventable health issues. You have an opportunity to do better & lead by a more humane, not eugenics, living example. Start by normalizing wearing masks indoors again.

Good news 🙌 Following our campaign in September (https://donoharmbc.ca/national-standard-on-n95s-into-bc-law/), WorkSafeBC has announced that once the most up-to-date standard for respirators in the workplace (CSA Z94.4) is released, they’re going to review it for future updates to BC’s workplace regulations.
This means we’re one step closer to getting up-to-date best practices about workplace N95 use and airborne transmission into BC law!
Thank you to everyone who wrote in to WorkSafe and attended the public hearing. Your voices made an impact! If you want a refresher on what a CSA standard is and why this one’s important, find our explainer at https://donoharmbc.ca/national-standard-for-n95s/ 😷

Parent: "The kids have been sick for weeks, they're probably not contagious any more."
Everyone else: "great!"
Me: "I'll just keep this :mastorespirator: on thanks."
Parent: "But how will you eat?"
Me: "I can manage without snacking, don't worry!"
(very few days later)
Them: "I feel so sick, I can't even imagine going for a walk around the block. Brutal!"
Me: "doing OK over here - get well soon!" (privately thanking the mercies that the respirator seal seems to have been good enough)

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 OPPORTUNITY: WorkSafeBC is revising some regulations, including its standard on respirators. However, because the CSA's newest (2025) edition of Z94.4 isn’t finalized yet, WorkSafe plans to use a soon-to-be-outdated 2018 edition – which doesn’t include the latest science on airborne transmission, and doesn’t require N95s by default in healthcare settings.
There is time to ask WorkSafe to:
1. Delay the update until the CSA's new edition is out, or
2. Adopt the 2018 edition, and revise again once the CSA's new edition is published.
You can submit written online feedback by Friday, Sept 26 at 4:30 PM at https://worksafebcmedia.com/pubco/prrd/250724-hearing/250724-parts8-31.php
You can also register to speak at one of the two virtual public hearings on Wednesday, Sept 24: https://www.worksafebc.com/en/law-policy/public-hearings-consultations/current-public-hearings-and-consultations/september-2025-public-hearing-proposed-changes-ohs-regulation
