BC Greens hold grief and demand change on International Overdose Awareness Day.

This is a day of profound grief.
In 2026 alone, nearly 800 British Columbians have lost their lives because of overdoses.
British Columbians have lost parents, friends, neighbours, siblings, and children.

As we grieve, we must continue to challenge the conditions that have led to this preventable harm.
Deaths from toxic drugs are not inevitable, but the results of policy choices.

Lives can, and must be saved by those who have the power to change these policies.
How we honour those who have died is measured by how we treat those we can still keep safe.

We're still learning the details about changes to supports for children and youth with support needs, including those diagnosed with autism. MCFD has now provided a response to the questions I raised in July, and I believe it’s important to share that information with you. #bcpoli

July 14, 2026

Rob Botterell, MLA
Saanich North and the Islands
BC Green Party
E-mail: c/o Laura.Ferreira@leg.bc.ca

Dear MLA Botterell:

Thank you for your letter of June 24, 2026, regarding the implementation of the new Children and Youth with Support Needs (CYSN) service model and the BC Children and Youth Disability Benefit.

I appreciate your recognition of the government's commitment to increasing supports for children and youth with disabilities and your acknowledgement that extending direct funding beyond autism addresses a longstanding inequity. Like you, I believe children and youth with disabilities and their families deserve a system that is more equitable, more responsive to their needs, and better able to provide support throughout British
Columbia.

The redesign of CYSN services was developed to address longstanding inequities in access to supports. It includes expanded community-based services, the new Disability Benefit, and the Disability Supplement. Together, these components are intended to improve
access to supports for substantially more children and youth than the previous diagnosis- based system, while ensuring that children and youth with the greatest disability-related support needs receive enhanced direct funding.

You expressed concern regarding the eligibility threshold for the Disability Benefit. The Disability Benefit has a specific purpose within the redesigned system. It is intended to provide enhanced direct funding to children and youth whose long-term disabilities result in the most significant and ongoing disability-related support needs, requiring intensive and sustained assistance. This reflects government's objective of ensuring that those children and youth requiring the greatest level of disability-related support receive the greatest level of direct financial support, while broadening access to services and other direct supports for many more families through the redesigned CYSN system.

You also requested greater clarity regarding how eligibility will be determined. The Disability Benefit has a single eligibility standard based on significant and ongoing disability-related support needs. Children and youth may demonstrate that they meet this standard through two pathways.

Some children qualify through a direct admission pathway because existing diagnoses or clinical information clearly demonstrate that they meet the eligibility standard. Other children may demonstrate eligibility through a needs-based review that considers the overall nature, intensity, persistence, and functional impact of their disability-related support needs. This approach recognizes that children with the same diagnosis may experience very different levels of disability-related support needs and ensures that eligibility is determined based on individual circumstances rather than diagnosis alone.

The Ministry recognizes that families and professionals are seeking greater clarity regarding the eligibility approach and how decisions will be made in practice. As implementation progresses, the Ministry is continuing to work with clinical experts, implementation partners, and the Expert Reference Group to refine operational guidance, strengthen public information, and ensure families and professionals have a clear understanding of the eligibility standard, the pathways through which children may demonstrate eligibility, the range of information that may be considered, and how eligibility decisions are made.

You also raised concerns regarding communication with families and service providers during implementation. I recognize that this transition represents significant change for families, and that uncertainty can create anxiety. The Ministry is committed to providing timely and accurate information throughout implementation. Since announcing the redesign, the Ministry has written directly to affected families, launched dedicated web resources and frequently asked questions, es…

You also expressed concerns regarding community-based services, particularly for families requiring individualized supports and those living in rural or remote communities. Community-based services are intended to complement, not replace, direct funding. Families have diverse needs, and no single service model will meet every child's circumstances. The redesigned system includes individualized supports, family-centred services, and group-based options, recognizing that flexibility is essential to meeting the diverse needs of children and families. I would also like to note that the expanded community-based services will not exclusively include group-based options, and that one- on-one support will be available. Planning for service expansion also considers regional differences and the unique challenges experienced by rural, remote, and Indigenous communities as services continue to expand across the province.

I agree that ongoing engagement is essential to successful implementation. The
redesigned CYSN system has been informed by years of extensive engagement with thousands of participants, and the Ministry continues to work closely with families, Indigenous partners, clinicians, service providers, and the Expert Advisory Committee as implementation proceeds. This engagement continues to inform operational planning, communications, and implementation activities to support children, youth, and families throughout the transition.

Our government remains committed to implementing a redesigned CYSN system that provides more equitable access to supports while responding to the diverse needs of children and youth with disabilities across British Columbia. I appreciate you taking the
time to share the perspectives of your constituents.

Thank you again for writing and for your continued interest in this important work.

Sincerely, Jodie Wickens

We understand Minister Bailey is moving to the Jobs and Economic Growth file, but Minister for Climate Solutions Adrian Dix will temporarily oversee the ministry’s responsibilities. This is a huge opportunity, as building a sustainable economy and tackling the climate crisis must go hand-in-hand.

BC Greens Leader Emily Lowan's statement on our current Wildfire Emergency. #bcwildfires

Leader's Statement:
Wildfires are an emergency.
The BC NDP should act like it.

"Apocalyptic wildfires are tearing through communities in BC, while the BC NDP refuses to acknowledge the reality that so many families are now experiencing firsthand:
this is an emergency.

It is not a coincidence British
Columbians have lived through the worst wildfires they've ever seen during the BC NDP's tenure; it is the BC NDP's policy choices that have created these conditions.

Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar touts wildfire prevention measures, as communities reap the consequences of his unrestrained razing of BC's forests.
Meanwhile, Premier Eby proudly diverts billions of taxpayer dollars to foreign LNG corporations - the very corporations responsible for the climate emergency causing our wildfires.
