BACKGROUNDIn 1995, the BC Minister of Health appointed the Minister’s Injury Prevention Advisory Committee, comprised of representatives from the many sectors in British Columbia who were positioned to take action to reduce injury.
Since 1995, the mandate and role of the committee has evolved to meet the growing demand for injury prevention support through the formation of a collaborative network known as BCIPLAN - a strategic alliance of over 30 organizations that support injury prevention priorities and activities across British Columbia.
