US EditionCivil liberties group will weigh in on firing of Victoria school trustees
GREATER VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, JUL 17 – BCCLA intervenes in a judicial review challenging the dismissal of nine elected trustees over disputes involving the School Police Liaison Officer program and procedural fairness claims.
- On Aug. 18, the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association will serve as intervenor in the dispute, with a five-day hearing to follow.
- Earlier this year, the province ousted nine SD61 trustees Jan. 30 amid SPLO disagreements, prompting them to seek judicial review for reinstatement.
- The intervention submission highlights first-instance constraints on Cabinet’s board-termination power, notes its 12-page Charter values brief and requests 30-minute oral submissions.
- Justice Lindsay LeBlanc said she will grant the BCCLA intervenor status with limits, and the hearing judge will decide its oral submission rights.
- The petition argues the minister and cabinet breached procedural fairness and acted in bad faith, and asserts the safety plan order and Order in Council exceeded their jurisdiction.
