WHEREAS the recent pandemic exposed the lack of health care resources in rural British Columbia and resulted in many individuals being forced to leave their community for further evaluation and treatment;
AND WHEREAS accessible, reliable, and effective local medical services should be available to all British Columbians especially during significant illness events that impact the majority of residents:
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that NCLGA and UBCM lobby the provincial government to further support the development of improved local medical services that meet the needs of all rural British Columbians.
Pending response to letter to Minister requesting meeting to discuss resolution.
