Students and families are one step closer to having a new elementary school with construction starting in the Township of Langley’s Willoughby Heights area.

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

British Columbia’s electric highway will get a supercharge this year with $30 million from Budget 2024 to add more than 500 public charging stations to more than 5,000 already available across the province.

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

B.C. farmers and ranchers are being supported with a new round of funding to help prepare and protect their farms and animals from extreme-weather emergencies, ensuring people will continue to have access to local food in a changing climate.

The Province has approved funding for a new Conseil scolaire francophone de la Colombie-Britannique (CSF) kindergarten-to-Grade 6 elementary school to meet the growing enrolment needs of the region’s francophone community. 

This week, more than two million families and individuals will receive their third quarterly Climate Action Tax Credit payment.
