There's an election coming
As most of us know, B.C. has a provincial general election scheduled for October 19, 2024 – a little over four months away. Our last provincial general election was held—a bit unexpectedly—during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fast forward almost four years and British Columbians are heading to the ballot box again.
A lot has happened in that time, particularly for BCPSEF members and our supporters. We’ve lived through events many of us never imagined we would, as Canadians, in our own country. For some people, nothing has changed. For others, the COVID years shifted the way we think about our world, our communities, our work, our health, and our rights.

To help us decide who we want to lead our province in the next four years, BCPSEF, along with the United HealthCare Workers of BC, have invited all party leaders to join us for individual member meetings to discuss their party’s policies and vision for B.C.’s future.

About BCPSEF
BCPS Employees for Freedom (BCPSEF) is a registered not-for-profit society in the Province of British Columbia. We are a diverse group of public servants who stand together for medical privacy and bodily autonomy.
We are leading a legal campaign to bring about accountability and justice for the B.C. government’s proof of COVID-19 vaccination mandate for BC Public Service employees that resulted in hundreds of unnecessary wrongful terminations, thousands of early retirements, and the violation of 38,000 public servants’ medical privacy and bodily autonomy. We hold regular member meetings and advocate on behalf of current and former public servants of municipal, provincial and federal government organizations, and publicly funded non-governmental organizations, in British Columbia.
