New members of B.C.’s Climate Solutions Council will support the Province’s work to transition to a clean economy with good, sustainable jobs for British Columbians.

Premier David Eby has issued the following statement marking Earth Day:

Local governments and Modern Treaty Nations will be able to begin work on larger climate-action projects, protecting communities for the next generation of British Columbians.

New support for Youth Climate Corps B.C. means more young people in British Columbia can train for careers that will help their communities reduce emissions and adapt to the changing climate.

More than two million individuals and families will see more money in their bank accounts as the climate action tax credit arrives this week.

Schools throughout B.C. will get a boost now that more funding is available for upgrades.

B.C.’s updated carbon pricing system for large industry will give companies incentives to lower pollution and create more good, clean jobs for British Columbians.
