.@CherylCcasimer also tells @NEWS1130 she supports similar reviews for #BC's education, child welfare and justice systems and she believes Health Minister @adriandix will make good on promises to act swiftly to ensure everyone gets the same level of care. #bcpoli #InPlainSight

She hopes this report paves the way for ending "rampant" racism "It's heartbreaking at first. Then I get a sense of anger... Why are we being subjected to a lower quality of health care and patient care just because of the colour of our skin. It's totally unacceptable." #bcpoli

Dr. Turpel-Lafond’s report is comprehensive, far-reaching & pivotal. It shows that systemic racism exists; it persists in our health care system; and it is toxic for people and toxic for care. The work to set us on a path to healing and reconciliation has already begun. 1/7

Racism is toxic for people and it's toxic for health care. Hospitals and clinics must be places of trust and comfort. This report shines an important light on systemic racism, and work is already underway to act on the recommendations.

Today I joined Dr. Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond to share the findings & recommendations from her independent review into Indigenous-specific racism & discrimination in BC's health care system. The summary and full report, In Plain Sight, is available at: engage.gov.bc.ca/addressingraci…

“I am afraid to go to any hospital. When I do have to, I dress up like I’m going to church [in order to receive proper treatment] It’s ridiculous.” --One of 9000 people describing fear of racism hindering access to adequate care in British Columbia. #bcpoli #InPlainSight
