**BCPS Employees for Freedom Society** is a Canadian not-for-profit society based in the Province of British Columbia. The group's stated purpose is to defend bodily autonomy and medical privacy for all peoples in BC.[\[1\]](#fn1)

## History

The organization was formed in October 2021 by a group of public service employees working in a variety of public positions including education, healthcare, children and family services, Indigenous relations, the environment, economic and social development, infrastructure, agriculture, energy and natural resources, public safety and others.[\[2\]](#fn2)

On October 30, 2023, BC Public Service (BCPS) employee Jason Baldwin filed a notice of civil claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against the [Government of British Columbia](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Government-of-British-Columbia) and Provincial Health Officer [Bonnie Henry](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Bonnie-Henry) under the *Class Proceedings Act* related to the province's mandatory [COVID-19 vaccination](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/COVID-19-vaccine) policy.[\[3\]](#fn3) The class action suit was announced on November 29, 2023 by Angela Cardoso, vice president of BCPS Employees for Freedom Society.[\[4\]](#fn4)[\[5\]](#fn5)

Certification hearings for the class action began on April 28, 2025, alongside a similar suit filed by [United Health Care Workers of BC](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/United-Health-Care-Workers-of-BC). Both groups are represented by Umar Sheikh of Sheikh Law.[\[6\]](#fn6)
