The Province’s year-end Public Accounts show B.C. had a strong fiscal result last year, bolstered by a faster-than-expected economic recovery as government made record investments to support British Columbians.

People in B.C. now have an easier way to access their health records with the launch of the Health Gateway mobile app.
