NEW- The B.C. Government has introduced legislation that if passed would ban protests blocking services at schools, hospitals and vaccination clinics. There is a clause in the bill to add additional areas. #bcpoli
This legislation would allow picketing in these areas. #bcpoli
The proposed legislation will protect hospitals, COVID-19 test and vaccination centres, and K-12 schools by establishing 20-metre (66 feet) access zones around them. #bcpoli
The act will give police the power to arrest or issue tickets to anyone impeding access to a facility, disrupting services or intimidating or attempting to intimidate an individual within access zones. #bcpoli
The act will continue to provide protection until July 1, 2023, though it may be repealed earlier if it is no longer needed. #bcpoli
