Hi all, We just wanted to reach out to let you know we’ve just passed 471 signatures on our petition!

The SPFA Campaign advocates for student journalism as a whole in BC, not just limited to the passage of our signature law. 

Bill-22, introduced into the BC Legislature last week, would make sweeping changes to the province's freedom of information law, among them implementing a $25 fee for all non-personal FOIs. 

Bill-22 would be especially destructive to student journalists, with their extremely limited budgets and thinly spread resources, it would stifle their reporting and bring important work to a halt. 

That's something we, as supporters of students' rights in a free and democratic society, cannot allow.

The SPFA Campaign has the joined BC Freedom of Information and Privacy Associations' Coalition against Bill-22, and we urge you all to quickly visit BC FIPA's site and send a letter to the Premier demanding this regressive Bill not pass. Time is of the essence. 

Thank you all for your support, 

- Spencer & Jessica, Campaign Directors
