B.C.'s second international conference furthering the prospects of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports set a new record for an industry-focused event in the province.

B.C. businesses of every size are front and centre with the global LNG industry on the trade-show floor as part of the Second International LNG Conference at the Vancouver Convention Centre this week.

Premier Christy Clark wrapped up her fifth international trade mission on Friday, returning to British Columbia from Hong Kong after signing historic agreements with liquefied natural gas (LNG) proponents - including PETRONAS and Woodfibre LNG - and promoting the development of the province’s promising LNG industry in crucial Asian markets.

A new pilot agreement between the Nlaka'pamux Nation Tribal Council (NNTC) and its five member communities and the provincial government aims to foster a collaborative government to government relationship.

Gone are the days of cordoned-off beer gardens at family-friendly festivals in B.C., thanks to liquor law changes made today that open up new opportunities for B.C. families and the province’s multitude of festivals and special events.

The Province is joining forces with a leading-edge, not-for-profit research institute to help advance a bio-friendly technology that will expand the market for B.C. wood fibre and help secure jobs in the forest industry.
