CLBC was formed in 2005, its formation was steeped in corruption ie: Gordon Campbell/Doug Walls. Woodlands closed in 1996 (as it should have). The Minister needs to get informed + start listening to families with lived experience of abuse, neglect + death. #bcpoli #clbc

After yesterday’s Question Period it is painfully clear that Minister Sheila Malcolmson is failing adults with intellectual + developmental disabilities in B.C. Everything she said is not only irresponsible but also wrong. #bcpoli #clbc

Making matters worse is the ugly fear-mongering Joanne Mills from CLBC stated in the same news report. She suggests the people CLBC serves would be ‘reinstitutionalized’ should CLBC be moved back into government. This is a lie. #bcpoli #clbc 4/4

The Minister’s words are irresponsible + cause harm. Many people with developmental + intellectual disabilities are non-verbal. Many have a cognitive disability + don't understand layers of paperwork or how to track down a Minister to share their negative experience. #bcpoli 2/4

📣The BC Coroners Service will hold a public inquest into the death of Florence Marie Girard in Burnaby, beginning Monday, Jan. 13, 2025.
Lots more to say about this but for now it’s tears, Florence died 6 years ago - this inquest is big.
Because of Florence we will do better.
