A legal organization is suing the B.C. government in an effort to end its COVID-19 vaccine mandates for health-care workers.

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms announced Thursday it has filed a petition in the B.C. Supreme Court, demanding that the government rescind its mandates, which require certain health-care professionals to be vaccinated as a condition of employment.
