Adrian Dix, Minister of Health, has released the following statement about British Columbia’s vaccine rollout:

On April 8, 2021, the B.C. Court of Appeal granted a partial stay of the B.C. Supreme Court’s decision that ruled it was unconstitutional for the Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT) to make minor injury determinations and decide claims of up to $50,000 in motor vehicle injury (MVI) disputes.

More seniors and Elders in British Columbia will be able to maintain their independence and stay in their own homes as the Province funds an expansion of the United Way’s Better at Home program to serve more than a dozen new communities.

The Province is providing an additional $372,500 to the Resilience BC Anti-Racism Network to help organizations combat racism in communities throughout B.C.

To support Lake Babine Nation with economic recovery from the pandemic, the Province is accelerating $22 million ahead of schedule under the 2020 Lake Babine Nation Foundation Agreement.

The B.C. Supreme Court will begin sitting for civil and family matters at the Port Coquitlam Courthouse beginning Monday, April 19, 2021, making access to justice services easier for residents of the Tri-Cities area.

Mable Elmore, Parliamentary Secretary for Seniors’ Services and Long-Term Care, has issued the following statement in recognition of Advance Care Planning Day on April 16, 2021:

People who rely on the Dease Lake Airport for access to health care, emergency services, and those who rely on transportation for work, including the mining sector, will benefit from $9 million in StrongerBC economic recovery funding for airport upgrades.
