BC Ministry of Health - stop charging health care workers for parking
The Issue
On March 4 2022 The Minister of Health Adrian Dix reinstated paid parking at all of the provincial health care facilities in BC.
As a nurse - I can see that British Columbians appreciate everything front-line health care workers do for the public. We are overworked, understaffed, exhausted and doing everything we can to help people. The Hard working health care workers of BC deserve parking passes and should not have to pay to park at their place of work.
Please sign and share this petition to demonstrate appreciation for front-line health care workers. Your signature and help getting the word out is very much appreciated. change.org/HealthCareParking
Minister Dix had lifted parking fees at hospitals at the beginning of the pandemic - but reinstated them March 2022. His reason? He stated that "non-hospital users are taking advantage of the situation to park for free while conducting business that is not hospital related."
Instead of charging hundreds to health care workers why not provide them a staff parking pass for them to display in their car?
Not all of the health care facilities can be experiencing this problem, because many have parkades with fob or code access. Health Authorities are also charging their staff for parking when staff are on vacation, off sick, and working over-time.
Help us end paid parking for the Provincial Health Care Workers of BC.
