A B.C. hospice organization has been given permission to present arguments for euthanasia-free spaces for those with terminal illness in an ongoing court case in B.C. Supreme Court.

The Delta Hospice Society was granted intervenor status on April 1, along with a handful of other groups, including the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, and Canadian Physicians for Life, in a constitutional challenge involving the ability of faith-based organizations to opt out of providing medical assistance in dying (MAID).
