The society that operates Irene Thomas Hospice in Ladner has reversed a decision to allow medical assistance in dying at its facility.

In a letter provided to staff, volunteers and members dated Dec. 2, new board president Angelina Ireland stated the board had repealed a decision by the previous board to allow the assistance at its Irene Thomas Hospice.
