Political reactions to the anniversary of the toxic-drug public health emergency declaration agree not enough has been done
As the 9th anniversary of B.C.’s toxic drug public health emergency arrived today, the provincial government is facing criticism from voices both inside and outside the legislature.
The BC Coroners Service has linked the deaths of more than 16,000 British Columbians to toxic drugs since the emergency was declared on April 14, 2016. Nearly a decade later, a rally outside the legislature organized by Moms Stop The Harm displayed pictures of some of the deceased, as speakers called on government to step up efforts to stem the tide.
