Bonnie Henry – Protecting the health of BC
Bonnie Henry is one of today’s most well known public servants. After having a long career in medicine, including time spent with Canada’s naval service and overseas in Pakistan and Uganda, she became BC’s provincial health officer in 2018. Through her role, she monitors the health of all British Columbians and undertakes measures for disease prevention and control and health protection. Most notably, she entered the public spotlight as the voice of BC’s COVID-19 pandemic response, offering a steady hand in a very unsteady situation.
