Public healthcare in Canada means everyone should get help when they need it. But in BC, 900,000 people don't have access to a family doctor.
Register for the BC Green town hall on the family doctor shortage
The Province’s current payment model makes it hard for doctors to run family practices. BC Greens are proposing an overhaul of the payment model to make it easier for doctors to run a family practice, so everyone can have access to a family doctor.
Join BC Green leader Sonia Furstenau for a discussion about how we can make sure everyone in BC has access to a family doctor. Sonia will be joined by a panel of healthcare experts:
 |
Dr. Mei-Ling Wiedmeyer |
 |
Dr. Rita McCracken |
 |
Dr. Lindsay Hedden |
 |
Dr. Damien Contandriopoulos |

Because our speakers will have limited time to answer questions, sending us your questions in advance will help us plan the evening’s discussion around the topics that are most important to you. If there is time, we will also take questions during the event.

7:30 PM to 9:00 PM
Protecting your health
BC Greens recognize that airborne illnesses and pollutants pose a significant health risk to everyone, especially the young, elderly, and immunocompromised, while caregivers, healthcare professionals, and support staff come into regular contact with vulnerable persons. When choosing venues, BC Greens prioritize outdoor spaces, and indoor spaces with good ventilation. In closed indoor spaces, we encourage attendees to wear well-fitting masks (N95, KN95, or KF94), especially during the respiratory-illness season.
Creating safe spaces
The BC Green Party is committed to providing an environment free of discrimination and harassment, where all individuals are treated with respect and dignity, can contribute fully and have equal speaking opportunities. To support this commitment, all event attendees will be expected to follow the standards of our Safe Spaces Participant's Guide.
