British Columbia

British Columbia is a province in Canada.

Physicians who complied with workplace guidance to adapt to COVID-19 measures were offered $1,000.00 paid directly to them (not through their establishment).¹⁾

On November 24, 2020, Jamie Lipp of the BC Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General notified police, compliance and enforcement officers across the province that a mandatory mask order was in effect and tickets could be issued for noncompliance.²⁾

A Vancouver Sun poll on March 2, 2022 revealed that approximately 79% of British Columbia residents believe the province should have already removed mask mandates and vaccine passports along with the rest of Canada.³⁾ Roughly 11% of respondents supported maintaining measures “for a while yet”.⁴⁾

In March 2022, the BC government began soliciting feedback for its COVID-19 response from the general public, with a final report scheduled for submission on September 30, 2022.⁵⁾

BC began requiring a COVID-19 “proof of vaccination” card in late 2021, which quickly became a digital “proof of vaccination” ID via a QR Code. The Province made several posters and promotional materials available for businesses enforcing the vaccine passport.^{6) 7)}
