A first-of-its-kind $500-million strategic investment fund will provide B.C.-based businesses with capital to position the province as a front-runner in the post-pandemic economy.

The Province is providing more than 5,000 youth and young adults across British Columbia with access to skills training and well-paid jobs through the almost $45-million StrongerBC Future Leaders Program.

Premier John Horgan has issued the following statement in honour of Vaisakhi:

The Province is investing in programs that will apply technology and innovation to agriculture to strengthen B.C.’s food security and support economic recovery.

More than 300,000 front-line workers, including first responders, grocery store employees, and teachers and child care workers, will be eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations over the coming weeks as the Province’s COVID-19 Immunization Plan moves forward ahead of schedule.

In response to a high number of applications, the B.C. government is investing an additional $30 million in the Launch Online Grant program.

Premier John Horgan, Jennifer Whiteside, Minister of Education, and Carol Todd, parent and founder of the Amanda Todd Legacy Society, have released the following statement to mark Pink Shirt Day:

British Columbians are a step closer to receiving their COVID-19 immunizations, with additional details and timelines released for the largest and most complex immunization plan to ever roll out in B.C.
