The Government of British Columbia is appointing three new Provincial Court judges to support the judiciary with the resources required to continue providing access to justice.

The Province is extending the current suspension of civil jury trials in the Supreme Court of B.C. by an additional year to respond to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the courts.

The Province is amending regulations to allow email as a method of service between landlords and tenants, making it easier for people to participate in the dispute resolution process.

A new employer representative, Lorna Pawluk, QC, has been appointed to WorkSafeBC’s board of directors for a two-year term, bringing to the job a strong background and a long track record of advancing worker health and safety.

Black History Month is typically a time to honour, celebrate and reflect upon the stories, experiences and accomplishments of Black Canadians here in British Columbia and across the country.

The Province, through BC Housing, has signed a lease with GSL Group that will allow the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre (SOFMC) to be used again for temporary housing beginning in March.
