Minister Conroy: Let’s turn commitment to action in Budget 2024!

Every BC senior should get the quality care they deserve. 

That is the goal that motivates our campaign. That is what we’ve been working toward. 

The BC government has made real progress. And they have made excellent longer-term commitments around seniors’ care. These include:

  • Continuing to build more public and non-profit care homes;
  • Improving oversight of for-profit care home operators to make sure the funding they receive goes to helping seniors and they all meet the highest standards of care; and
  • Restoring common standards for wages, benefits and working conditions, so seniors can count on receiving the same quality of care if they are in a public care home or a private one.

These improvements would take us a long way toward meeting our ultimate goal. Let’s do this!  

Send a letter to the Minister of Finance urging her to show, in her upcoming budget, a clear timeline to meet the government’s commitments, and how she will make funding available to do so. 

We have provided a sample message below. If you have time, adding a few words of your own will make your message even more powerful. Don’t wait! The budget will be released February 22. Act now.
