BC Municipalities Need Provincial Support In Fight Against Single Use Plastics

Victoria recently lost its fight to ban single-use plastics after a court challenge by the Canadian Plastic Bag Association. The BC Court of Appeal said the municipality needs permission from the provincial government. Isabelle Lefroy says it’s critical for the BC government to act now rather than wait for the Trudeau government to bring in legislation at the federal level. Isabelle Lefroy is a law student at UBC who is currently working with West Coast Environmental Law.
