The provincial government is reviewing British Columbia’s environmental assessment process to ensure the legal rights of First Nations are respected and the public’s expectation of a strong, transparent process is met, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy George Heyman announced today.

Premier John Horgan has issued the following statement commemorating Family Day in British Columbia:

Visitors will now be able to reserve campsites for the 2018 camping season in the core area of Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park (Og and Magog Lake campgrounds).

The Government of British Columbia is providing $250,000 in Family Day funding to support free community-based family events during the BC Family Day weekend.

The many service improvements and streamlining measures that the British Columbia government has made to save people time, hassle and unnecessary costs, have earned the province an ‘A’ grade from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
