Raymond Taylor Shaw and Crystal A.J. Smith filed a petition in B.C. Supreme Court arguing they faced a “significant burden and emotional toll” when they had to register their son by his last name only to access benefits
A Campbell River couple is taking the Vital Statistics Agency to court 10 months after the province refused to register their child’s Indigenous first and second name using Kwakwala characters.
Shaw, a traditional native carver, is Liǧwiłdax̌w and a member of the Wei Wai Kum First Nation in Campbell River. His partner Smith, who is Ts’msyen and Haisla, was adopted into the Heiltsuk Nation. The Vital Statistics Agency only allows people to register names with Latin alphabetic letters, a standard set of French accents, apostrophes, hyphens and a period. Numbers, brackets, slashes and other symbols are not accepted.
In the meantime, Smith was unable to get her child a health-care card and said she was forced to pay out of pocket for medical appointments and prescriptions. Health Minister Adrian Dix told the Times Colonist in April the province wanted to see the system changed “and it will be soon.”
