On Thursday October 30th, our Executive Director Nick had the opportunity to attend a Lobby Day at the BC Legislature as part of a team from the British Columbia Association for Community Health Centre’s (BCACHC). The aim of this Lobby Day was to advocate for the work of BCACHC and all 38 Community Health Centre’s that exist in BC.
The day consisted of time in the Legislature watching question period followed by meetings with Ministers and MLAs in the afternoon. Great conversations were had, and solid advocacy was undertaken. A more thorough update will be provided in the December edition of the Harbour Spiel and soon on our website.
A special thank you to MLA: Hon Randene Neill for the warm welcome and introduction to the Legislature.
