Televising Northern Health Authority Meetings

WHEREAS healthcare is a number one priority with British Columbians; AND WHEREAS the regionalization of health care management has removed local access to health care decisions to the point where people do not have the ability to know what is going on; AND WHEREAS the Northern Health Authority has been requested to televise its meetings on local cable TV stations in the same manner as Council and School Board meetings; AND WHEREAS the Northern Health Authority has stated that local cable TV providers have told them they will not expand meeting coverage beyond Council and School Board meetings: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Union of BC Municipalities contact local cable providers and demand that they provide coverage of Northern Health Authority meetings as a public service.
