Equity, diversity, and inclusion at BCHS

June is Pride Month in Canada. A time when we come together to celebrate, honour, and show support for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual and Two-Spirit (LGBTQIA2S+) community and its allies.

“Our goal is to bring together the LGBTQIA2S+ people across both our hospitals to promote cultural safety,” says Tyson Benn, Manager of Inpatient and Emergency Mental Health & Addictions and Chair of the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Council.
