B.C. nurse Amy Hamm gets suspension, fines for comments about transgender people

Amy Hamm was fined $93,639 and suspended for one month after a disciplinary panel ruled her statements about transgender people were unprofessional conduct.

  • The British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives announced on Aug. 15, 2025, that it imposed a one-month suspension and a nearly $94,000 fine on Amy Hamm for discriminatory comments about transgender people.
  • After two formal complaints from activists and a Vancouver city councillor, the college received complaints about Hamm's comments, leading to an investigation and findings of discrimination.
  • The disciplinary panel of the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives suspended Amy Hamm's license for one month and ordered her to pay $93,639.80 in legal costs for her statements defending women's access to female-only spaces.
  • Under the stay on penalties, Lisa Bildy argues the appeal of Amy Hamm’s suspension and fines to the Supreme Court of British Columbia, citing legal errors.
  • The college says the ruling makes an 'important statement against discrimination' and warned of a 'chilling effect' on free expression for regulated professionals.
