Parents deserve real action to ensure their kids' safety.
BC United is calling on David Eby's NDP to issue a province-wide ban on open drug use in public spaces across British Columbia.
The NDP’s rushed decriminalization plan has put our kids at risk. No child should be exposed to illicit drug paraphernalia at parks, playground, and beaches. They deserve safe spaces to play and learn.
“I just cannot understand why the government cannot just make it clear that province wide, we're going to have a policy that says you do not get to do open drug use in parks, playgrounds and beaches.”
— Kevin Falcon, Leader of BC United
“As a father, I'm deeply concerned about the impact of drug use in public spaces used by children. Children deserve safe spaces to play and learn.”
— Kevin Falcon, Leader of BC United
