When the COVID-19 pandemic was declared in March, classes at the Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) were suspended, just as many aspects of the economy and society were paused to slow the spread of the virus.

The Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) has received a $75,000-grant to research the challenges and innovations resulting from Canadian paramedics’ response to COVID-19.

The funding is from the federal government’s Tri-agency Applied Research Rapid Response to COVID-19 grant initiative, funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
