The Government of British Columbia is appointing three new Provincial Court judges to support continued access to justice.

People experiencing homelessness have additional warm and safe indoor shelter options as winter weather settles over British Columbia.

Rachna Singh, Parliamentary Secretary for Anti-Racism Initiatives, has released the following statement in honour of Guru Nanak Gurpurab:

People at risk of or experiencing homelessness in Fort St. John have access to 42 new homes with supports now that the Northern Centre of Hope West building is open.

Families, seniors and individuals in Merritt are moving into affordable new rental homes as the doors open on a 75-unit apartment project.

Construction has started on 50 new safe, secure homes for women and children fleeing violence on the Westshore, which is the result of a partnership between the Province, through BC Housing, and the Victoria Women’s Transition House Society (VWTHS).

Residents of Jennings Place are living in improved comfort, safety and security following the completion of a $7.9-million renovation to the 52-unit townhouse complex.

Groundbreaking data that tracks the number of people who experienced homelessness in B.C. will help government better understand the factors that contribute to homelessness, and better support people in finding stable housing and services that meet their needs.

Proposed changes to the Judicial Review Procedure Act (JRPA) will provide transparency and clarity for judicial reviews of decisions made under consent-based decision-making agreements with Indigenous Peoples.
