B.C. nurse suspended by college, fined $94K for comments about transgender people
Social Sharing A B.C. nurse has been suspended and fined nearly $94,000 in costs for making "discriminatory and derogatory statements" about transgender people. The B.C. College of Nurses and Midwives says a disciplinary panel has issued a decision against Amy Hamm, suspending her for one month, while also ordering her to pay the college costs and disbursements within two years. The panel said in its verdict in March that Hamm committed professional misconduct for making statements across "various online platforms" between July 2018 and March 2021 that were partly designed "to elicit fear, contempt and outrage against members of the transgender community." The college says Hamm has filed an appeal of the discipline order in B.C. Supreme Court, and the decision on penalty and costs is stayed until that appeal has been resolved. Trans people are protected from discrimination by laws in both B.C. and Canada, providing them with the right to be treated according to their deeply felt gender identity. B.C.'s human rights code was amended in 2016 to include protections against discrimination based on gender identity or expression, while the federal human rights and criminal codes were updated the following year. The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms says in a release that Hamm was penalized for "her statements defending the right of women to access female-only spaces." The release says Hamm had worked in health care for more than 13 years and had been promoted to be a nurse educator. Lisa Bildy, Hamm's lawyer, says in a statement that they believe the panel made "legal and factual errors" in reaching its decision, which penalizes the nurse for expressing "mainstream views aligned with science and common sense." "I'm appealing because biological reality matters, and so does freedom of expression," she says. Non-discriminatory care The college says in its notice of the penalty decision that the verdict is an "important statement against discrimination." "Nurses and midwives occupy a position of trust and influence in our society," the notice says. "The college will continue to stand up against discrimination and believes it is a core aspect of our public protection mandate to ensure nurses uphold the important principle that the health care system is non-discriminatory." Human rights complaint filed The announcement comes nearly a month after the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms announced it had filed two complaints with the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal. Hamm has maintained that she is not transphobic, and that she takes issue with an "infringement on women and children's rights," and was particularly concerned with transgender women having access to women-only spaces including prisons and change rooms. She previously said she completely rejects the concept of gender identity, calling it "anti-scientific, metaphysical nonsense," and on social media posts has referred to transgender women as men. Hamm has received supportive statements from a wave of online followers, including author J.K. Rowling, and has written several columns for a variety of media outlets on multiple issues, including politics and crime, as well as sex and gender..

Non-profit animal hospital opens in southeast Calgary
An animal hospital dedicated to affordable treatment for pets opened Saturday in southeast Calgary, and business is already booming. The Task Force Animal Hospital officially opened its doors Saturday, offering accessible and affordable vet care to people who might otherwise not be able to afford to take their pet to the vet. 'It's really the first hospital like this in Alberta right now," said Canadian Animal Task Force executive director and co-founder R.J. Bailot. Bailot said the group originally started to support Indigenous communities with dog management practices, setting up spay and neuter clinics but could see the need to broaden its reach. 'Over the years, we've kind of shifted and expanded programs to now have our own brick-and-mortar space in Calgary, so that we could actually help Calgarians as well," Bailot said. Task Force Animal Hospital Task Force Animal Hospital offers low-cost veterinarian care to Calgary pet owners who are financially-challenged. (Tyson Fedor, CTV Calgary) He said the group did a soft launch to try to gauge demand ahead of the official opening. 'Within a few days, we had over 300 applications,' he said. 'We know we're going to be slam busy. 'The sad reality is there's such a huge need for services like this,' he added. 'There was recently a study that was published that 50 per cent of Canadians are not bringing their animals right now to veterinarians, and cost is one of the largest factors.' Bailot said the group is trying to complete its capital campaign, with every dollar donated up to $100,000 being matched by a longtime donor. 'That will really help us get to our goal to really complete this capital campaign,' he said. The animal hospital is at 3610 Burnsland Rd S.E. For information, go here.

Minister of Social Development gets more power after changes to Nursing Home Act in New Brunswick
The Department of Social Development now has the ability to fast-track patients from hospital beds to nursing homes in New Brunswick after the province made changes to the Nursing Home Act. According to a news release from the province on Friday, changes will eliminate the previous 'critical state' admission process for alternate-level-of-care patients waiting for nursing home placements and allow the Minister of Social Development to interrupt if over the previous seven days, hospital bed occupancy has exceeded 95 per cent and more than 25 per cent of those beds were alternate-level-of-care patients. 'We know this situation didn't develop overnight, and, while it won't be solved overnight, our government is tackling it head-on with a commitment to lasting change for New Brunswickers,' said Social Development Minister Cindy Miles in the release. 'We're focused not only on short-term solutions, but also on building the right supports and services in our communities to create a more sustainable future.' The new wait-list management process can take effect for up to 120 days in the province's eight regional hospitals. After that time the province says the minister may consider whether it should be extended. 'By prioritizing these patients for nursing home placement when hospital occupancy is critically high, we can improve patient flow, reduce overcrowding, and ensure patients are cared for in the most appropriate setting for their needs,' said Margaret Melanson, president and CEO of the Horizon Health Network in the release. Additionally, the province says the department may prioritize for nursing home admission people in the community who are deemed to be at exceptional risk with respect to health and safety. People approved under this process will supersede admissions from hospitals. 'This reform will help us keep our hospital beds available for patients who need them most, while providing those waiting for long-term care with an environment better suited to their needs,' said Jenny Toussaint, vice-president of clinical logistics at Vitalité Health Network in the release. A total of 640 nursing home beds have been awarded since 2021 under the 2018–2023 Nursing Home Plan; 460 of those beds have opened, with another 180 currently under construction. Social Development is currently developing a new long-term care plan, including a five-year nursing home plan that expected to be released later this fall.
