Dear @Josie_Osborne & @Dave_Eby kindly share the “publicly released” health review findings that you/your government promised 18 months ago. We should have seen them in “early 2026.”
#bcpoli #BCelxn2026 #britishcolumbia #bchealth #cdnhealth @bcndp @BCNursesUnion @DoctorsOfBC
Still waiting to see the findings of the extensive & expensive health authority review. “The Province anticipates that the health authority review for @PHSAofBC & the regional health authorities, will be complete in early 2026. Its findings and recommended changes will be released publicly.” news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2025…
As promised during the campaign, government is committed to ensuring health authorities are functioning as effectively and efficiently as possible. Today, we announced we are starting with a review of the PHSA:

Granville St is BUSY, festive, fun, dancing, music, cheering & occasionally airborne (the last not advised). Have fun & take care of each other too. Congrats Morocco. Well done Canada too. Thx all public safety peeps too. #fifa #fifavancouver #canada #vancouver #vpd #rcmp @FIFAWorldCup
BC’s Health Authority Review began in March 2025 with @PHSAofBC & “Its findings & recommended changes will be released publicly,” in early 2026, said @Josie_Osbourne. It’s nearly July & we’re still waiting… please give us the report now. #phsa #publichealth #heatdome & #bcpoli
Chemically unbalanced. Our strata pool area has been unsafe for years, has yours? Water chemistry off & high temp. that harms metal, our lungs/skin & eyes. Why doesn’t @VCHhealthcare MoH @Josie_Osborne enforce #publichealth orders for safe pools? #strata #bcpoli #vch #vancouver
5 Vancouver Beaches Closed! @MetroVancouver @ParkBoard & @VCHhealthcare should clarify #ThirdBeach Station 100 shows “safe” #ecoli levels.Why close it? Friends & I swim there daily & doing fine. #publichealth #vanpoli #stanleypark cbc.ca/ cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…
Beach water quality very high for many Vancouver Beaches already? 4600 ppm (23x recommended max.) for #ThirdBeach! Not great for anyone
#FIFA visitors. Likely a sewage spill/boat IMHO. @VCHhealthcare & @MetroVancouver pls retest & post results asap! #vanpoli #swimming #vch
“Sea don’t” vs sea doo. Hoping the @ParkBoard votes to protect beaches, swimmers & wildlife from sea doo/jet skis & boats . No white swim buoys here. 311 complaints never answered. Forgotten beach of management. #vanpoli #parkboard parkboardmeetings.vancouver.… No replies ever.
#ParkBoard agendas for the upcoming Committee and Regular Board meetings on June 1, 2026, have been posted: bit.ly/4a8ODj2
1/2 Hacked via @Westjet cybersecurity incident! Anyone know how to reach “Westjet Fraud”? The stated phone #’s DON’T WORK for fraud/cybersecurity reporting. Most frustrating. @WestJet please DM me! .thx ...8538 is a useless number. #westjet #fraud @Transport_gc
Enjoy the ocean. Downtown & all Vancouver beaches appear to have good water quality again based on just posted E. coli numbers by @VCHhealthcare @greenestcity #vanpoli #publichealth #swimming #thirdbeach #englishbay #kitsbeach #swim VCH pls test more than 1xwk
VCH, why no beach water test results since July 16? Wtf! @VCHhealthcare @CityofVancouver VCH republished July 16 beach water results & dated it today.#ecoli

Shame & harmful #publichealth Vancouver! 5 days later, the new beach water report shows worse ecoli than last wk!
What’s @CityofVancouver @VCHhealthcare doing? Fireworks & boats won’t help. Neither will a shortage of swimming spaces. #vanpoli #Vancouver #beach #swimming

Swimmers deserve to know the current water quality, not last weeks’. Link to incorrect beach water quality report vch.ca/en/service/public-bea…

@VCHhealthcare & @CityofVancouver: please correct “Misfiled or missing” beach #ecoli updates for Stanley Park, English Bay, Kits (Route 2 beaches reports missing see vid clip of @VCHhealthcare web). Lots of heat & no water updates isn’t helpful. #vanpoli #phsa #vch #vancouver

@Josie_Osborne won’t work if BC health authorities don’t improve satisfaction of staff vs executives, allow safe reporting without repercussion, & meet outcomes. Staff feedback is a great predictor of retention/recruitment. Too many now unhappy in #bchealth #bcpoli #phsa
With everything happening south of the border, B.C. has a unique opportunity to welcome some of the best and brightest doctors. In just two months, B.C. has received nearly 780 job applications from qualified health professionals across the U.S.

2/2: #thirdbeach #sunsetbeach No Suitable for Swimming sign just going up now at third beach. Sad day for the ocean & swimming in Vancouver. I’m sure the fireworks won’t help water quality either. #swimmers #vancouver #beach #vancouvertourism #publichealth #watersafety #vanpoli
1/2: Swimmers Alert!! @CityofVancouver @VCHhealthcare not reporting on extremely high e-coli 24,000+ (200ish is safe limit) at beaches. Known since July 11. Why? Lifeguards warning people now. vch.ca/en/service/public-bea… #vancouver #vanpoli
@Josie_Osborne I’ve lost multiple people to suicide & know many others from my #mentalhealth work. What about BC’s huge gap in MHSU professionals compared to ALL other provinces? Also no focus on males health in BC despite 75% of suicide deaths in BC are males. #bcpoli @Dave_Eby
Every life lost to suicide is a profound tragedy. In partnership with @CMHABC, we have developed new clinical guidance to set a clear path for how we will care for and support those most at risk. Learn more: news.gov.bc.ca/32355 #suicideprevention @ubc_health
A pod of Orcas … awesome beauty of nature. While cycling the seawall. Just another beautiful nature day away from the downtown noise!
Yesterday under Lion’s Gate Bridge. And a few fans. #orcas #vancouver #whales #killerwhales @CityofVancouver. Boats/people keep your distance
