Article content As the one-year anniversary of the pandemic approaches, residents of B.C. are living in a radically altered landscape. Our provincial government has been both praised and criticized for its handling of the pandemic, but how have they truly fared with respect to civil liberties and human rights? A key issue for the public and organizations such as ours has been the lack of transparency by the province. It is impossible to assess whether the provincial government is striking the right balance between our liberties and the protection of public health without being privy to the evidence they are basing decisions on. B.C. has rightly been criticized for not being as forthcoming as other provinces about the timing and location of infections. At least three First Nation communities have legally challenged the province’s withholding of COVID-19 information that is necessary for Indigenous governments to make more informed safety decisions for their communities.
