Dear Paov -- 
Thank you for supporting our campaign to make sure all BC babies
have health coverage!
After hundreds of people sent messages
and shared the campaign on social media, this campaign was featured on
the front page of The Province on Monday.
Then,
the BC MSP office reached out to Sanctuary Health and asked to meet as

On Tuesday, we met with the leadership of BC MSP and Pharmaceutical Services. They agreed that all BC-born babies deserve and are eligible for health coverage under MSP.
They also said the parents’ immigration status shouldn't be a barrier to an infant getting coverage and confirmed that their office does not share registration information with the Canada Border Services Agency. This...

Thursday, October 20 Social Justice Film Night presents:UTOPIABy John Pilger150 mi.This controversial documentary film by acclaimed filmmaker John Pilger draws on his long association with Indigenous Australians. Utopia is Pilger’s investigation into Australia's colonial past and wealthy present. It sets out to break the stereotypes of the first people of Australia. Pilger travels to Darwin, then to Western Australia and to the outback of New South Wales, where he explores the high rate of Indigenous people imprisoned, the low average life expectancy, and the prevalence of preventable diseases and malnutrition among indigenous communities.
