Building on the successes of the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015 and World Rugby Sevens, the Province of British Columbia is welcoming the world once again as we help bring the first-ever Americas Masters Games to Vancouver.

British Columbians have shown their compassion and kindness for the residents of Fort McMurray by donating $384,089 through BC Liquor Stores.

Vancouver-False Creek MLA Sam Sullivan joined Shaun and Sonia Strobel, co-founder's of Skipper Otto's Community Supported Fishery, dockside in Vancouver to announce the provincial government’s Buy Local Program is providing the company $20,000. These funds will be used to promote the quality of B.C. seafood throughout the province and encourage British Columbians to buy local.

British Columbia artists and arts organizations will be travelling internationally to share their work and make connections, thanks to provincial government funding, part of the Province’s Creative Economy Strategy.

The Province has provided $3 million to the B.C. Schizophrenia Society (BCSS) to help expand their provincewide caregiver network, announced Health Minister Terry Lake, marking national Schizophrenia Awareness Day. The network supports family and friends who are caring for loved ones with schizophrenia or serious mental illness.

As the first long weekend of the summer season arrives, BC Liquor Stores and The Community Against Preventable Injuries (Preventable) are joining forces to remind British Columbians about how dangerous prevailing attitudes around mixing alcohol with boating can be.

The British Columbia government is working with Westbank Project Corporation to redevelop two adjacent buildings located on West Cordova St. into a single building to help address homelessness in Vancouver.

Close to a quarter of a million dollars have been donated by British Columbians at BC Liquor Stores for Fort McMurray wildfire relief efforts .
