Are there any official restrictions on gatherings like this in BC right now? I know they just closed indoor dining and some other restrictions, but I don't know all the details.

This message is serious enough that I would hate to see it lumped in with antivax or covid deniers or other similar narratives. "Look at them flouting the health order literally killing trans people" etc. etc.

I don't know but the tweet comes from a Canadian feminist organization, so I also hope that they would be aware of and following health orders.

Yes, but it's also very much about optics right now. It sucks, but this can easily backfire in the media.

Maybe the rally was planned before new health orders? I hope that the organizers comply because you're right that the optics would probably not look good.
