monthly update from the BC Health Coalition
UPDATE A seat at the table: First gathering of BC's new Community Health Centre Partnership Table moves us one step closer to a meaningful community of practice
A new provincial Community Health Centre (CHC) Partnership Table had its first gathering this November. Bringing together an unusually broad cross-section of community and government stakeholders, the partnership table is a recognition of the power of community collaboration. “This important milestone is the result of dedicated work by the BC Association of Community Health Centres (BCACHC), our Coalition and many other community partners,” says Edith MacHattie, one of BCHC’s representatives at the table.
Representatives from the BCACHCs, the BC Health Coalition, the BC Rural Health Network, and the Community Alliance of Racialized Ethnocultural Services (CARES) for Equitable Health, as well as patients of CHCs and providers who work at CHCs, determined to work together to grow the CHC model in BC. According to Marcy Cohen, another BCHC representative at...

This new evidence could be the last nail in the coffin for Trans Mountain
In the last 10 days, two damning reports came out that could be the final nail in the coffin for the Trans Mountain pipeline.
Last week the Canadian government’s own oil regulator did the math and confirmed that the Trans Mountain pipeline is not only inconsistent with Canada’s climate commitments, but actually completely unnecessary.
To complete the one-two punch, the United Nations (UN) then released an alarming report revealing that governments around the world must slash fossil fuel production by 6% per year before 2030 to have any hope of keeping their Paris climate commitments. That means no

Paov --
Here at the BC Health Coalition, the year 2020 brought our most historic victory yet! It was also a year of extreme pressure to our public health care system.
Thank you for supporting our work this year. Together we have made a difference on the health care issues that matter most in the lives of British Columbians. We couldn’t have done it without you.
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed long-standing cracks and failures in BC’s health care system. It also made it strikingly clear: when the health of the most vulnerable in our society is at risk, we all suffer. Now more than ever, there is public support and energy to strengthen universal, public health services.
With a landmark 880 page ruling in the Cambie Case, the BC Supreme Court has affirmed the value of sustainable and universal access to health care. In the court of public opinion, too, you have made clear your commitment to defend public health care and support evidence-driven public solutions. Together, we have delivered...
