FEATURE CONSULTATION

Public Health and COVID-19

The Public Health Association of BC has set up a PlaceSpeak consultation topic to find out how you’re dealing with the outbreak of COVID-19. PHABC and Placespeak are providing a secure digital community platform where citizens of BC can share issues and questions related to COVID-19 and connect with helpful resources in their communities while practising social distancing and self-isolation.

The topic page includes a discussion page asking for your thoughts on the provincial government’s reopening plans and a new poll question asking how you are feeling about your financial security during the pandemic. The PHABC is constantly updating the resources section with information, including the provincial and federal financial support schemes and the daily updates from our health minister.
