Vancouver clinic bars doctor from offering MAID to Alberta woman on site, using staff as legal witnesses

January 16, 2025
A Vancouver doctor has been prohibited by the clinic she founded from using its staff to act as legal witnesses for new patients seeking her help to obtain medical assistance in dying, court documents show.The board chair of the non-profit society that runs the Willow Reproductive Health Centre also committed in an affidavit to ensuring that Dr. Ellen Wiebe would not use clinic facilities to end the life of an Alberta woman who had sought Dr. Wiebe’s help. The woman was denied the procedure hours before it was supposed to occur in October after her common-law husband secured a court injunction.
