Dear Honourable MLAs, Prospective Candidates, Party Representatives and Members of the Media,
The Canadian Traditional Chinese Medicine Development Alliance (CTCMDA), publisher of the recent open letter on TCM regulatory priorities, cordially invites you to attend this press briefing. This event offers a neutral, solution oriented platform for provincial election candidates and sitting MLAs to articulate their policy positions on the future of statutorily regulated TCM and acupuncture in British Columbia. CTCMDA welcomes active participation from candidates committed to advancing substantive, pro TCM policies. We look forward to public commitments from participants to safeguard safe and accessible TCM acupuncture services for British Columbians, respect TCM’s distinctive clinical framework, and foster sustainable growth for this statutorily regulated health profession.
