We’ve been told that public health orders are made by the experts, particularly the PHO. Mask mandates were implemented through a health order, like we saw expanded to >5s today. But now vaccine mandates are left to 60 individual school districts. 1/ #bcpoli #bced
The patchwork system leaves room for vulnerability, and places the onus on each school district for public health decisions and respecting staff privacy. The @bctf has said this is the wrong approach. 2/ #bcpoli #bced
We know how the Delta variant plays out in areas of high vs low vaccination across BC. We are seeing our children infected, & the risks of long-COVID on their development are serious. Every person should be equally protected by gov’t, regardless of where they live. 3/ #bcpoli
Leaving this decision to school boards is an abdication of responsibility from the @bcndp in this time of crisis. We cannot come out of this without good leadership, and I hope to see them step up and protect our schools. 4/4 #bcpoli #bced
