Twelve First Nations communities throughout British Columbia will receive $7.1 million to develop alternative-energy projects and advance energy efficiency through the Province’s Community Energy Diesel Reduction (CEDR) program, a CleanBC initiative.

Bruce Ralston, Minister of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation, has released the following statement marking Holodomor Memorial Day:

With global inflation still driving costs up, families and small businesses in B.C. will get a one-time cost-of-living credit on their BC Hydro bill this fall, and a new BC Affordability Credit in January.

The Government of B.C. is bringing forward changes that will further advance the production and use of hydrogen, generating economic opportunities, reducing emissions and supporting the transition to clean energy.

The 13th round of negotiations to modernize the Columbia River Treaty will take place Aug. 10-11, 2022, with representatives of Canada and the United States meeting in Richmond.

The Province of British Columbia, BC Hydro, Canada and West Moberly First Nations have negotiated a settlement related to the Site C project.

As a result of the Province’s CleanBC Go Electric programs and rebates, the number of electric vehicles (EV) on B.C.’s roads has increased by 1,600% in the past six years.

Canadian and United States representatives continue discussions toward a modernized Columbia River Treaty.
