In British Columbia, there is a shared commitment to ensure that the province is a place where the inherent rights of Indigenous Peoples are recognized, and First Nations, Métis and Inuit people thrive.

With 85,000 new skilled-trades job openings expected through 2031, the Province is investing in trades education and support for workers.

Government is committed to making British Columbia a safe harbour, welcoming those fleeing war and violence in their own countries and supporting the integration of all newcomers to B.C.

That familiar September feeling is in the air as thousands of students return to school throughout B.C. this week, anticipating the new school year while looking forward to reconnecting with friends and meeting new teachers.

If you’re feeling anxious about B.C. reopening, you’re not alone.

How are you?
