LCG is rushing to officially change polling places from a now-closed elementary school to Lafayette High before Saturday's election. UL President Joseph Savoie is set to be appointed to the Cajundome Commission.
Ms. Que Banh#BCNDP unelected & current #BCPremier #DavidEby flips on forced treatment/involuntary care. They're leaning more to the right - taking same policy positions on addiction & mental health as the BC #Conservatives 👎People need mental wellness services to be included under Pharmacare because it hasn't been included. People can't afford to access many services that would help them a lot. There's long wait lists for the very few free to access programs. We need better funding for public health that includes mental health & addictions because they're interconnected.
[ #BritishColumbia will be opening secure facilities to provide #InvoluntaryCare under the #MentalHealth Act for those with severe #addictions who are mentally ill, the premier announced Sunday, just days ahead of the start of a provincial election campaign.
David Eby pledged the #NDP would change the law in the next legislative session to "provide clarity and ensure that people, including youth, can and should receive care when they are unable to seek it themselves."
"People with addiction challenges, brain injuries and mental-health issues need compassionate care and direct and assertive intervention to help them stabilize and rebuild a meaningful life," he said in a news release.]
