72-hour MAiD medication return — exemption for exceptional circumstances

The MAiD Oversight Unit has introduced a new process for MAiD practitioners who are experiencing extenuating circumstances and expect or encounter a delay in their ability to return MAiD medications within 72 hours of a patient’s death (for example, due to circumstances such as extreme weather, natural disasters, and travel from rural and remote areas). If the practitioner anticipates a delay in the return of MAiD medications, please request an exemption by contacting the MAiD Oversight Unit.

We acknowledge the rights and title of the First Nations on whose collective unceded territories encompass the land base colonially known as British Columbia. We give specific thanks to the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking peoples the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations and the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh-ulh Sníchim speaking Peoples the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), on whose unceded territories BCCNM’s office is located. We also give thanks for the medicines of these territories and recognize that laws, governance, and health systems tied to these lands and waters have existed here for over 9000 years.

We also acknowledge the unique and distinct rights, including rights to health and wellness, of First Nations, Inuit​ and Métis peoples from elsewhere in Canada who now live in British Columbia. As leaders in the settler health system, we acknowledge our responsibilities to these rights under international, national, and provincial law.​
