The Province, through BC Housing, has purchased the Capital City Center Hotel, which will provide nearly 100 temporary supportive homes for people experiencing homelessness in Victoria.

David Eby, Attorney General, has issued the following statement:

On April 8, 2021, the B.C. Court of Appeal granted a partial stay of the B.C. Supreme Court’s decision that ruled it was unconstitutional for the Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT) to make minor injury determinations and decide claims of up to $50,000 in motor vehicle injury (MVI) disputes.

The Province is providing an additional $372,500 to the Resilience BC Anti-Racism Network to help organizations combat racism in communities throughout B.C.

The Province is making amendments to the Public Interest Disclosure Act (PIDA) to provide greater clarity for government employees who report serious wrongdoings under the act. 

People and communities throughout B.C. will have increased capacity to address racism and discrimination, and build intercultural trust and understanding as more than 190 new projects have received support through the BC Multiculturalism Grants program.

David Eby, Attorney General and Minister Responsible for Housing, has released the following statement about the Province’s decision to apply for a partial stay of proceedings with respect to the B.C. Supreme Court’s recent decision about Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT) jurisdiction over motor vehicle injury disputes:

The Province, through BC Housing, has purchased a building with about 70 new temporary indoor shelter spaces for people experiencing homelessness in Victoria.

The Province, in partnership with the City of Victoria, is moving forward with four new supportive housing projects that will deliver up to 192 permanent homes with 24/7 support for people experiencing homelessness.
