A B.C. nurse who was fired and found by a disciplinary panel to have committed professional misconduct over gender-related comments has filed human rights complaints against her former employer and the nurses’ regulatory college, alleging she was discriminated against for her political beliefs.
Amy Hamm has filed two human rights complaints with the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal, one against the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) and another against her former employer, Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH), according to a July 21 press release by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, which provided lawyers to represent Hamm in both matters.
