People will be at the centre of better service delivery as the Province establishes Connected Services BC, a more connected technology systems model that works better for people and businesses interacting with government.    

Accessing high-speed internet for people in approximately 750 households will soon become a reality as more rural Vancouver Island and Gulf Island communities are connected.

Key findings from three research priorities identified by B.C.’s Anti-Racism Data Committee reveal the need for greater equity and diversity within the BC Public Service, some progress has been made in representation to appointments on B.C.’s agencies, boards and commissions, and pay differences between racialized and white workers in B.C.’s private and public sectors.

As part of British Columbia’s ongoing work to protect government information systems, the Province is entering an agreement with the Government of Canada to enhance collaboration with the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (Cyber Centre).

A fifth intake of the Connecting Communities BC funding program is open for project applications to increase access to high-speed internet services in rural and remote communities.
