B.C.’s free contraception plan renews push for Ottawa, other provinces to follow suit
Choong called that a “beacon of hope” for the rest of the country.
Teale Phelps Bondaroff, a spokesman for AccessBC, said the group has been pushing for free contraception in B.C. for six years and those fronting campaigns elsewhere in Canada, including Ontario, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, see B.C.’s decision as a catalyst for potential change in their jurisdictions.
“We were able to conduct a door-to-door survey throughout the province and find out what people needed and put this into a cost-effective model,” Norman said of the Contraception and Abortion Research Team , a network of researchers and clinicians that she founded.
