Indigenous communities, local governments and heritage organizations in British Columbia will soon have access to funding for projects that spotlight the Province’s diverse cultural heritage.

Josie Osborne, Minister of Municipal Affairs, has released the following statement to mark World Refugee Day on Sunday, June 20, 2021:

The BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) Tech Pilot will become a permanent feature of the BC PNP, providing B.C.-based tech companies and offices with the continued ability to recruit international talent and support government’s work to build a strong, sustainable recovery.

Not-for-profit groups that deliver social services to people and families throughout the southern Vancouver Island region are receiving support through B.C.’s Community Gaming Grants program.

New legislative amendments will give local governments more flexibility to better serve communities and people, as special authorities granted during the pandemic become permanent.

A wave of connectivity investments this year will bring improved internet performance and reliability to people living in many of B.C.’s coastal communities.

The Province and the City of Victoria have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that formalizes their commitment to work together to end current homeless encampments and help prevent encampments in the future.
