Elementary school students throughout British Columbia will be safer cyclists after taking part in the fifth year of the Everyone Rides Grade 4-5 program.

We are proud of British Columbia’s diversity. It’s a big part of what makes our province such a great place to live. Canadians of South Asian heritages have origins in nations such as Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan with a diaspora as far-reaching as Fiji, Africa, the Caribbean and further. South Asian immigration to B.C. has been integral to the growth and success of our province. 

As the summer tourism season approaches, British Columbia’s wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries are gearing up to offer enhanced tour and service experiences for visitors.
