Election day is October 19, 2024

A general provincial election is set for October 19, 2024. Our last provincial general election was unexpectedly held during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fast forward almost four years and British Columbians are heading to the ballot box again. What will that mean for our members, and British Columbians more widely?

Health Policies?

To answer that question, BCPSEF, along with United HealthCare Workers of BC, sent letters to all party leaders to ask them about their party’s position on the health issues that matter to us: 

  • medical privacy, and
  • bodily autonomy.

Here’s our letters: 

We’ll let you know what they have to say. 

    How can I get involved?

    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.

    United Healthcare Workers of BC has a similar mission for healthcare workers.

    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.

    Invitation Letters

    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. This includes invitations sent March 18 to:

    BCPSEF looks forward to keeping you updated on who we hear from, and who has accepted our invitations.

    Who has responded to and/or accepted our invitations?

    How can I participate?

    Meetings with party leaders are for members only; If you’d like to join us and are not yet a member, please visit one of the follwing links:
