First Nations leaders and provincial officials are coming together for the 10th B.C. Cabinet and First Nations Leaders’ Gathering, where they will collaborate on ways to recognize, respect and advance essential government-to-government relationships.
This morning, on Nov. 5, 2025, Premier David Eby; Chief Marilyn Slett, president, Coastal First Nations; Mayor Garry Reece, Lax Kw’alaams; Jason Alsop, president, Haida Nation; Paula Amos, Indigenous Tourism B.C.; and Clarence Innis, Hereditary Elder, all signed the following declaration:
Drivers are advised to plan for traffic delays this weekend on Highway 1 in Burnaby, as lane closures and a full overnight closure of a section of the highway on Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025, will support work on the Burnaby Lake overpass.
A request to allow a second floating workcamp or ‘floatel’ for workers building the Woodfibre LNG liquified natural gas construction site southwest of Squamish, B.C. has been approved.
More shelter spaces are available this winter than previous seasons, providing people experiencing homelessness in British Columbia with life-saving access to additional warm, safe indoor spaces as colder weather arrives.
The B.C. Public Service acknowledges the territories of First Nations around B.C. and is grateful to carry out our work on these lands. We acknowledge the rights, interests, priorities, and concerns of all Indigenous Peoples - First Nations, Métis, and Inuit - respecting and acknowledging their distinct cultures, histories, rights, laws, and governments.
We can help in over 220 languages and through other accessible options. Call, email or text us, or find a service centre.
