Okanagan College (OC) students now have access to more on-campus housing with the opening of new student housing at the Vernon and Kelowna campuses, reducing housing pressures in both communities and making it easier for students to focus on their studies.

The Rental Protection Fund has helped protect 75 more affordable rental homes for people in Squamish and North Vancouver.

The largest provincial investment in on-campus student housing will lead to more than 1,500 new post-secondary beds on the University of British Columbia’s Vancouver campus, as the Province continues to build homes for students at a record pace.

B.C. tree-fruit growers will benefit from three new or updated financial supports and changes to help stabilize their bottom line and overcome significant challenges posed by extreme weather, market instability and the recent closure of the BC Tree Fruits Cooperative.

Premier David Eby has issued the following statement marking B.C. Day:

Canada’s first bachelor’s degree in traditional Chinese medicine will be offered at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) to train people for in-demand careers.

People training for good paying, in-demand careers will be able to access grants that cover most, or all, of their tuition thanks to the next intake of the StrongerBC future skills grant.
