B.C. sidesteps high heel ban, temporarily, as private member’s bill dies
VICTORIA — A private member’s bill that would make it illegal for employers to require female workers to wear high heels on the job died when the British Columbia legislature adjourned on Thursday.
But Green party Leader Andrew Weaver said he’s confident the Liberal government is preparing to make changes to provincial regulations without requiring legislation that bans footwear requirements.
The intent of Weaver’s bill got support this week from Premier Christy Clark.
Weaver said the issue has received worldwide attention.
