Premier John Horgan has announced a new Chinese-Canadian Community Advisory Committee to assist the Province of British Columbia in strengthening social, economic and cultural ties among members of the Chinese diaspora in this province and around the globe.

As the holidays arrive, the Minister of Tourism Arts and Culture is encouraging everyone to join with family and friends to enjoy British Columbia and support a flurry of community activities.

The Province’s public engagement to shape British Columbia's new human rights commission ends in one week.

The signing of a new collaborative management agreement between the Province and Musqueam Indian Band has strengthened their government-to-government relationship and will result in more effective decision-making on land and water authorizations and stewardship in the estuary and lower reaches of the Fraser River.

Minister of Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services Amrik Virk announced a $2 million contribution to Knowledge Network for the making of Lions of the Sea, a feature film and miniseries, based on the history of the Komagata Maru incident.

Additional resources in Asia Pacific studies are coming soon to schools throughout the province, thanks to a new partnership between the Ministry of Education and the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada (APF Canada).

B.C. Premier Christy Clark made the following statement after a Qingming Festival ceremony at Vancouver’s Mountain View Cemetery to honour Chinese ancestors and British Columbia’s Chinese community for their contributions:

The British Columbia government is investing $2.2 million to support greater Indigenous participation in the province’s vibrant and growing technology sector.

British Columbians of all ages can discover the stories behind the people, events and diverse cultures that have shaped B.C.'s rich history through a new documentary series and 150 documentary short stories.
