A B.C. hospice that found itself in hot water with the provincial government for refusing to make provisions for medically assisted suicide got a favourable court decision this week that allows it to continue its fight to keep euthanasia off its premises.

“We’re waiting now for our hearing to be scheduled, and we know that in our hearing we’re going to be able to argue everything that’s relevant to this case,” Delta Hospice Society (DHS) president Angelina Ireland said in an interview.
