Hockey Canada, on behalf of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), has announced the 2019 IIHF World Junior Championship will return to British Columbia. The Site Selection Committee awarded the tournament to the Province of B.C. and BC Hockey in a live press conference from Rogers Arena in Vancouver.

Vancouver, the coast and mountains are on the travel radar of many top travel publications. Recently Lonely Planet highlighted the city of Vancouver as a must-visit destination.

The Province will build on its world-renowned provincial parks system by hiring more park rangers to enhance conservation, improving services for persons with disabilities and launching a new BC Parks Foundation so community groups, businesses and individuals can come together and have a voice in BC Parks priorities.

B.C. is projected to outperform Canada with robust growth this year and ongoing modest growth thereafter, Finance Minister Michael de Jong said at the close of his annual meeting with the independent Economic Forecast Council.

Technology is transforming key industries in B.C. and around the globe at an unprecedented pace.

The best trades and technology students in British Columbia were honoured by more than 200 attendees at the 22nd annual Skills Canada BC gala in Vancouver.

School District 39 in Vancouver will receive $40,000 in funding for the Youth Work in Trades program to boost trades training for young people in district schools.

Vancouver communities will benefit from one-time targeted funding of $320,655 for Capilano University and $78,000 for Vancouver Community College to support adult-literacy programs.

Multiculturalism Week in British Columbia is Nov.13-19, 2016, a time to celebrate B.C.’s rich, cultural mosaic. Jorge Salazar is one of five multicultural champions profiled this week.
